Q: What is the best time to visit Wellington?

Wellington is New Zealand's compact cultural capital: Te Papa's national museum, the cable car up to the botanic garden, a film-industry legacy (Weta Workshop), Cuba Street's coffee and vintage, and a harbor promenade built for the wind it's famous for. Small city, big culture per square meter.
