Wellington Cable Car (The), Wellington

For something completely different, why not take a trip on Wellington's beautifully restored flaming red cable car? A vital commuter link between Lambton Quay and the leafy inner-city suburb of Kelburn, this route has been operating since 1902. This is a popular form of transport for the thousands of students attending Victoria University. This is a favorite inclusion in the typical Wellington itinerary providing easy access to the Botanic Gardens and sweeping panoramic views of the city. Call ahead or check website for hours and rates.
