The odd-looking ‘Beehive’ houses the governments modest executives, and nearby is the old Government Building, which is said to be one of the biggest wooden buildings in the world, the National Library, which houses the most comprehensive collection of books in the country and the Katherine Mansfield Memorial, commemorating on the country’s most famous women.
Along the waterfront is a small redeveloped area with several entertainment and recreational facilities, but the newest attraction is the highly recommended Te Papa museum, which includes insightful displays of Maori culture.

The Thorndon area has some interesting old colonial architecture and the waterfront drive along Oriental bay is also lovely weather you’re in a car, on a bike or rollerblades.
The city also has several excellent vantage points. A road winds it’s way up to Mt Victoria, and walking trails descend. Ever popular is the antique funicular ride to the summit of the excellent botanical gardens behind the CBD.
