Overview

The high point on Wellington's Southern Walkway, Mount Victoria, easily accessible by foot or vehicle, is undoubtedly the capital city's favorite lookout. Popular with the tourists for its spectacular bird's-eye view of the city and surrounds, the site is also appealing to locals. On warm summer evenings there is nowhere better to enjoy your fish and chips than with a glass of red wine and a view of the setting sun as it descends behind the surrounding hills.

Go at night if you canby Yahoo | 2007-12-23 00:58:28 |

To say the view is breathtaking is a understatement. But if you go at night, when the city is all lite up, its beautiful. Besides the very curvy drive up/ride up, there is no cost involved. The woods along the sides were also used in the filming in lord of the rings.

I've been there a few times and all I can say is that I think its great and awsome and the view is just stunning.

Nice view, but not as good as Coit Tower in SFby Yahoo | 2005-01-12 05:23:59 |

Friendly locals. I drove there, but there's a streetcar that may be worth taking to get to Mt. Victoria.
