A little about the city
Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, on the North Island, however, it has fewer inhabitants than other cities on the islands, such as Auckland. However, don’t be fooled by this feature: Wellington has an excellent urban infrastructure and a night life that is the envy of any metropolis, which even earned it the title of “smallest coolest capital in the world”!
The climate is very pleasant and mild, even with the great amount of wind there. In other words, it’s always good to have a jacket in your bag, just in case.
