Antes de ir
Do aeroporto
Wellington International Airport (WLG) is only 8km from the CBD. The Metlink Airport Express bus (Route 2) runs every 10-20 mins, takes ~30 mins to the railway station, and costs NZD $6 with a Snapper card or NZD $12 cash. A taxi or rideshare (Uber) costs NZD $30-45.
Como se deslocar
The CBD, waterfront, and inner suburbs like Te Aro and Thorndon are extremely walkable. Most major attractions are within a 30-minute stroll of each other. The city is hilly, so be prepared for some steep streets.
Dicas locais
- Always carry a light jacket or windbreaker—Wellington's famous wind can spring up suddenly, even on sunny days.
- For the best coffee, look for cafes displaying the 'Supreme' or 'Mojo' roastery logos, or ask a local for their favorite 'flat white' spot.
- Use the Snapper card for buses; it's cheaper than cash fares and can be topped up at many dairies (corner stores).
