Wellington
一頭栽進這座前衛的首都城市,享受繁華的文化氛圍,還有大都市生活的各種趣味
夾在天然海灣與綠蔭山丘之間,在如此壯麗的自然景色作為背景,紐西蘭的首都仍提供許多都市體驗。這裡有多元的都市複合體,有國家級機構、博物館,以及世界級的大學,以及穿插其間的各式新潮咖啡館、小型釀酒場與商店。比紐約的人均餐廳數還高,住在這裡你絕對不會餓著肚子。
用雙腳體驗這座緊密的城市,從Lambton Quay商業區開始,搭上Wellington著名的紅色纜車。在終點等著你的,是鳥瞰這座新家城市的美麗全景,回程不妨漫步從Botanic Garden的原始灌木叢中穿過。接下來往南前進,沉浸在Cuba Street的波西米亞氛圍之中,這裡是前衛藝術家、色彩鮮豔的商店,以及噴火街頭藝人的家。用Floriditas的溫暖早餐飽餐一頓,用Havana或Laundry這兩個在這一區最古怪的夜生活熱門地點來結束這一天。
For more shopping and entertainment head to Courtenay Place, stopping at up-and-coming Hannah’s Factory Laneway for a salted caramel cookie on the way. The beach, where you might spot dolphins and whales bobbing their heads through the surf, is also never far. Take a break from your studies on Oriental Bay’s golden shores, browse the Harbourside Market or kick back with ice cream from Kaffee Eis. For a more substantial break, catch the Interislander Ferry to the South Island or head to Wellington Airport and explore even farther.
