Wellington Waterfront

The capital's harbourside promenade stretches for several kilometres past wharves, lagoons, public art and converted warehouses, forming one of the city's most popular gathering places. Along the way visitors find museums, cafes, a diving platform used by locals in summer, and open spaces that host festivals and markets. The reclaimed land tells the story of the port's expansion over more than a century, with heritage sheds now repurposed for events and dining. Wide, level pathways make the whole stretch easily walkable and cyclable.
