Wellington Cable Car
Impressive views & botanic gardens
The cable car has been carrying patrons up and down the steep slope between Lambton Quay in the CBD and Kelburn since 1902. Cable cars depart every 10 minutes for the five-minute ride, originally built mainly for commuters.
Views from the top are exceptional, plus there’s the Cable Car Museum and the impressive 25ha Wellington Botanic Gardens for a lovely stroll. Take the cable car one-way and walk down to the city through the Gardens.
