Wellington with Cable Car

The largest city in New Zealand is Auckland, but surprisingly the capital is Wellington. Wellington is calling itself the Capital of Cool. Lonely Planet says, Wellington is coolest little capital in the world. In fact, Wellington is rather cool – expect about five degrees centrigrade less than in Auckland.

And despite it is a capital, a small one indeed, there is really not much to see. Except of plenty of shops. So bring some extra money to heat you up.

Okay, okay. They also have a historic red cable car, which is pretty nice. You see it on the picture to the left, arriving at the upper platform. It takes you also back down – virtually into the shops.
