Catch a show, opera or ballet at the St James or the Opera House, take in a play at Downstage or some comedy at Bats. They're all near neighbours. Wellington's other main performance venues are not much further - along with the major galleries, the library and Civic Square.

Enjoy the late afternoon sun or the new golden sands of Oriental bay. Work off the stress of the workday with a run through Mount Victoria's green belt. Or catch an afternoon's cricket at Wellington's historic and picturesque basin Reserve, just down the road.
