Wellington Cable Car offers one of the most iconic experiences in the city, providing the best views in Wellington. Operating for over 120 years, the Cable Car has consistently transported commuters, students, and tourists between Lambton Quay, Victoria University, and the Botanic Gardens up the Kelburn hillside. There is simply no better way to experience the hidden charm that Wellington has to offer than to take this 5-minute ride. Upon reaching the summit, you'll find yourself 120m above sea level, enjoying breath-taking views of the city, harbour, and surrounding hills.
