Getting Around Wellington
If you’ve arrived by plane, one of the easiest ways to access the city is via the airport bus. The Airport Express (AX) runs every 10 to 20 minutes, seven days a week. The trip takes approximately 30 minutes, and airport buses have wifi, USB charging, and luggage racks.
Wellington’s central city is compact, walkable, and easily explored on foot. If you want to venture further out to see the many picturesque bays and hills, you’ll need something else. A bike — either push, electric, or mountain bike — allows you the freedom to climb hills without the hard graft. It’s also easy to stop and drink in the views whenever you want to. Switched on Bikes hires out a range of bikes to explore the city on two wheels. Found near Chaffers Marina on the waterfront, Switched on Bikes’ HQ is a great starting point. You can choose to head off on your own, take advice on specific routes, or take a guided tour.
