There was plenty of parking available at the lookout, and for free. The roads are pretty steep and the locals drive quite fast, so be careful.nnThe views at Mount Victoria are gorgeous, overlooking Wellington in a 360 way. Wrap up, because the wind makes it quite cold here!
Lovely afternoon spot! Took bus 20 from the city and reached easily. A few steps to climb but totally worth it for the stunning 360 degree views of Wellington. Great way to spend our relaxed afternoon.
Very good panoramic views of the Wellington city from the Mount Victoria lookout. Offers 360 degree views of the city and seas. Watch the ships and the planes, and the blue skies.nThere is a drive up the hill to reach here, parking is also there ontop of the hill. You can alos walk up the hill if interested..
Wow, just wow.nClimbing Mount Victoria early in the morning was honestly one of the best decisions I made during my time in Wellington.nnFrom the moment I set foot on the track, I was greeted by the crisp, fresh air that Wellington is so famous for. There was something so peaceful about being surrounded by the wilderness—tall trees, the soft crunch of leaves underfoot, and birdsong echoing through the air. It instantly felt like a retreat from the busyness of city life.nnThe tracks were really easy and accessible, making the hike super manageable for almost anyone, even if you’re not an experienced hiker. The gentle ascent made it feel more like a stroll than a climb, and the well-marked paths meant there was no stress about getting lost. You could really just enjoy the walk and soak it all in.nnReaching the summit was the real reward. The views over Wellington were absolutely breathtaking. Watching the city slowly come to life under the soft morning light was something special—it gave a whole new appreciation for the beauty and layout of the city.nnI was genuinely glad I made the effort to get up early and make the hike. It was invigorating, peaceful, and memorable—all rolled into one simple adventure.nnIf you’re visiting Wellington, I highly recommend making time for a morning walk up Mount Victoria. It’s an experience that captures the very best of the city: nature, beauty, and tranquillity just minutes from the urban hustle.
Amazing and truly 360 views of the Windy Wellington city. The drive up here is extremely steep and on narrow roads. Only cars in good condition should be driven up here. The great part is you can also ride up here on public transport as it’s on a bus route. There is parking at two spots for almost 20 vehicles at a time including accessible parking. There are some 100 steps to reach the top viewing deck. There are three information boards on the three viewing sides on the top. It gets more windy at the deck. Views are totally 360 and well worth the drive and walk up to this spot. Must be a part of your itinerary while visiting Wellington.
