One of Wellingtons most famous attractions in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongawera (known more commonly as Te Papa) which is situated on the Waterfront on Cable Street. There you can explore New Zealand's geology, its Native Birds and Animals, History, there is a Marae, an art gallery, it's awesome! Currently there is Lord of the Rings exhibit, where you can look at some of the props, models and costumes (I've been to this and I personally recommend it).

Other attractions include the Wellington Cable Car, which runs from Lambton Quay, runs past Victoria University to the Botanical Gardens, which hosts some of Wellington's best views, Carter Observatory and Planetarium and the Cable Car museum. Cable Cars have been operating in Wellington for over a hundred years and are a very cheap and popular way to explore.

Fans of Lord of the Rings can also find many famous filming locations which are scattered all over the city and wider Wellington region, and there are many tours you can take to find these locations.

I'm a fan of the show and looking forward to seeing your take of my town. Have fun

Hey someone copied my post

Hope your having a good time in Welly, looking forward to reading your blogs TJs

Just read your Auckland Blog and you mentioned you were craving Mexican food. There is an excellent Mexican restaurant in Welly. Try Flying Buritto Brothers on the corner of Cuba and Vivan Streets.

Going up Brooklyn Hill to the wind turbine is a great way to get great views of the city, but pack a sweatshirt, as it can be a wee bit chilly.
