Wellington Cable Car

​The Wellington Cable Car is highly recommended if you’re visiting the city. The ride itself is really fun, especially with the unique slanting position and the awesome, colorful light displays when passing through the tunnels.nn​Once you reach the top, the views over the city and harbor are absolutely beautiful —especially on a clear, sunny day! There's a lovely viewing deck at the summit perfect for photos, plus you're right next to the Botanic Garden and the Cable Car Museum.nnIt's an affordable, quick, and iconic experience that you shouldn't miss.

Really nice ride, only expected it to be a little longer but it is advertised that it’s only about 5 minutes! Amazing views at the top and a lot of fun activities to choose from! Only downside is parking as a tourist with a car it was horrible to find any parking so account for that!

A truly historic must-do. This century old cable car adds charm and efficiency to this charming city. Weather does add to your experience so try planning accordingly. Also very popular for tour groups and cruise passengers with queues running quite the line. Combine with the restaurant, museum, lookout and botanical gardens weather permitting to make the most of this experience. Two thumbs up!

Cute! Very short ride, would recommend up and then walking down through the botanical gardens. If you are quite comfortable walking for a while, I also recommend just walking back down instead of taking the trolley.

Called a cable car here, others would know it as a funicular railway. $12 for a round trip ticket, but if you also visit the botanical gardens which are very hilly, you will find that you will be back at downtown level by the time you visit the cafe.nnMuseum dedicated to the history of the cable car free at the top.
