Guide to Wellington

welcome to AOTEAROA'S queerest city!

Coming to Wellington? Make a whole thing of it. 

Te Whanganui-a-Tara is compact, creative and proudly Rainbow. We’re packed with great places to eat and drink, independent shops, galleries, beaches, bush walks and plenty of things that are just a little bit weird. 

We could tell you where to go. But these people already do it better.
