Nestled between a sparkling harbor and rolling green hills is Wellington, New Zealand's capital. Along with being NZ's constitutional and cultural capital, it is also known for its art, heritage and native beauty. To learn about the art and culture, you can visit World of Wearable Arts (WOW),  Te Papa Tongarewa Museum and the Royal New Zealand Ballet. You can enjoy native flora by visiting the Wellington Botanic Gardens. If you are a movie buff, then you must visit the Weta Cave for that is where the movie, The Lord of the Rings, came to life. Wellington is also known for gourmet food and wine. It has many bars that serve the best NZ craft beers and that alone is enough to ensure an entertaining and raucous night.
