Wellington – The Windy City

Wellington is the capital city and second most populous urban area of New Zealand. It has the distinction of being the southernmost capital of a sovereign state. Wellington is known for its high quality of living and as one of the best cities in the world to visit. The area is known to have been inhabited as far back as 1280 by the Maori. Europeans settled in the mid-19th century, and the city has grown to be the most important administrative centre in the country. Wellington is a well-visited tourist city that earns a lot of revenue from the industry. It is called “the coolest little capital in the world”, which is now its unofficial nickname.
