Destination Profile
It might be small for a capital, but what Wellington lacks in size it makes up for in looks and character. Haloed by rock-ribbed mountain ranges and bathed by the sloshing Pacific waters of a huge natural harbor, it's certainly a looker. Then you see those historic Georgian townhouses and old Victorian buildings in the center, topped by flower-bursting botanical gardens and rows of sandy beachfronts. Whether you come for the history, the heritage, the food, or hard-fought rugby showdowns when the All Blacks take to the field, cheap flights to Wellington from Australia are a top ticket into town. There are loads of direct connections on offer, going with airlines like Air New Zealand, Qantas, and Virgin Australia.
