Getting there & around
Wellington is a major transport hub: anyone going from one NZ island to the other (by sea) passes through here. Wellington airport is serviced by international and domestic airlines.
Easy train and bus connections make commuting into Wellington a viable option – many people travel to work (or to party) in Wellington from the hinterland. Approaching the city from the north, you’ll pass through either the Kapiti Coast to the west via State Highway 1 (SH1), or the Wairarapa to the east via State Highway 2 (SH2), before entering the heavily populated Hutt Valley and Wellington itself.
InterCity (www.intercity.co.nz) is the main North Island bus company, travelling just about everywhere. Commuter trains run from Wellington to the Kapiti Coast and The Wairarapa; long-distance Tranz Scenic (www.tranzscenic.co.nz) trains run from Wellington to Auckland via Palmerston North.
