Wellington boasts a compact downtown area that’s easy to explore on foot and a wealth of architectural styles, from 19th-century wooden cottages to Art Deco masterpieces. Discover the city’s Maori roots at the Museum of Wellington City & Sea and the Museum of New Zealand.

Visited Zamm again since I feel my energies are so dispersed lately and can't quite find my center. I was pleasantly surprised at how in depth and how enlightening she is. Zamm took the time to carefully explain every facet and minute detail of my reading. I thought maybe 15 mins was all-turned out to be an hour's worth of genuine sincerity and empathy, and a lot of enlightenment and encouragement. she definitely helped lift a huge load of my shoulders and helped me find my center and refocus. Thank you Zamm for treating me like an old friend!

Fragrifert Parfumeur, the Victorian Perfumery

Fragrifert Parfumeur, The Victorian Perfumery, is a mini-museum and perfume emporium all in one. All perfumes are made by me, Francesco van Eerd, and are created using time honoured techniques and with a high percentage of natural materials. Just as they would have been made one hundred years ago. Where nature allows, I even distill my own materials. I welcome you to visit for yourself the fragrant excitement that is Fragrifert Parfumeur, at the Top of the Cable Car!

Reviewed By Kiwifromkiev - Auckland, New Zealand

We’ve found this place whilst visiting a coffee shop at the top of the cable car. We walked in and were totally fascinated by the smell and the sight. Beautiful period setting, very attentive host who is happy to share his passion for perfumes with visitors, and new and exciting smells. Yes, we’ve bought perfumes to remember this place by and I would recommend anybody to go and see and smell for yourself! You will not be disappointed!

Maori Arts Gallery

Reviewed By lagoongirl18 - Wellington, New Zealand

This is the BEST place in town to come and get your taonga or your real NZ souvenirs with the BEST price. Lovely staff - that are knowledgeable and friendly and go out of their way to help you find that perfect piece for any occasion, or just for yourself. Located on the water front, grab a coffee and take your time browsing in this lovely little shop - you won't find a better deal anywhere else in town. I get all my gifts there - for birthdays, farewells at work, Christmas and whenever I am travelling overseas to take to family and friends. I myself, have several pairs of paua earrings and greenstone pendants. I love this place!
