Wellington boasts a tiny downtown district that is easy to visit on foot and a number of styles of architecture, from 19th century log cabins to Art Deco masterpieces. Discover the town’s Maori origins at the Wellington City & Sea Museum and The Museum of New Zealand. In Rotorua, on the North Island of New Zealand, bubbling hot springs and ponds provide complete relief. Therapeutic hot mud pools, stunning geysers and a submerged village are within easy reach of the area.
