An absolute must if you visit the city. Great sweeping views on the way up but even the car itself from the outside is a gorgeous red that makes you think you could be in the Swiss Alps.

7. ZEALANDIA Ecosanctuary

ZEALANDIA is the world’s first fully-fenced urban ecosanctuary, with an extraordinary 500-year vision to restore Wellington valley’s forest and freshwater ecosystems as closely as possible to their pre-human state. It’s even reintroduced over 20 species of native wildlife back into the area, some of which were previously absent from mainland New Zealand for over 100 years.
