Wellington
Cable car up to the botanic garden lookout
About This Experience
Wellington's cable car has climbed from Lambton Quay to the suburb of Kelburn since 1902, and the five-minute ride ends at the Wellington Botanic Garden, with a lookout giving one of the best views over the harbour, the CBD and the hills beyond. A small museum at the top tells the story of the original cars, and the walk back down through the botanic garden — free, and largely downhill — is a pleasant way to return to the city centre.
