Wellington
Wellington New Zealand is located at the centre of New Zealand and includes New Zealand's capital city - Wellington.
The Capital of New Zealand, Wellington is also a cultural centre - home to Te Papa, the ground-breaking interactive Museum of New Zealand, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and national treasures such as the original Treaty of
Waitangi and Katherine Mansfield’s Birthplace.
