Getting Around
Wellington is very compact and it is easy to explore on foot, but the public transport option is a good one, for the city has an excellent system. NZ Bus is the largest bus company in New Zealand and operates in the city. Taxis are plentiful and convenient; a cable car connects downtown Wellington to the Botanic Gardens on the hilltop. Ferries ply between Wellington harbour and the village of Eastbourne, and those wishing to explore the outlying regions such as the Hutt Valley, Wairarapa wine country, or Kapiti Coast can make use of the train.
