[Wellington 3 days and 2 nights guide] Hidden ways to play in this literary and artistic capital, coffee lovers come here!

As the coolest little capital in the Southern Hemisphere, Wellington conquered me with its sea breeze, coffee aroma and artistic talent! After testing and sorting out this nanny-level strategy, niche camera positions + food red and black lists are fully disclosed👇 🔥Top 5 must-visit attractions 1️⃣【Te Papa Museum】🚀 💡Highlights: Free! 6-story immersive exhibition hall, stunning giant squid specimens, Maori cultural area is great for photo taking ⏰Time: 10am to 6pm (extended to 9pm on Thursdays) 📸Camping location: 3rd floor observation deck × Capitol Building 2️⃣【Wellington Cable Car Red Cable Car】🚠 💰Ticket price: NZD 6 one way 🌟Experience: 120-year-old vintage carriage, 5 minutes to the top overlooking the colorful bay, the mountaintop botanical garden hydrangea path is beautiful (November-March) 3️⃣【Weta Workshop】🎬 💥Lord of the Rings fans rejoice! Touch the movie props yourself, and take a guided tour to uncover the secrets of special effects production for NZD 45 ❗Reminder: Please make an appointment on the official website in advance. Selfie sticks are not allowed in the studio. 4️⃣【Zealandia Ecological Reserve】🦉 🌿Realistic version of "Middle-earth": Night tour to observe kiwis and fireflies (NZD 85 including equipment) ⚠️Review: Anti-slip shoes are a must! The guide's explanation is very vivid 5️⃣【Cuba Street Graffiti Street】🎨 🍹Locals’ private collection: Second-hand bookstore + Internet celebrity coffee cart gathering place 🎵Easter egg: open-air jazz performances every Saturday (free!) ☕️The Bible of Coffee Lovers ✔️Flight Coffee Hangar: Champion latte art chef, must-order Flat White with almond croissant ❌Avoid the Internet celebrity store L'affare: Too many tourists and unstable production 💡Fun fact: Wellington has more cafes per capita than New York! 🚌Traffic Tips ❶ Airport → City: Super Shuttle carpooling costs NZD 20, 50% cheaper than taking a taxi ❷ City bus: Snapper card available at convenience stores, one-way NZD 2.5 ❸Note for self-driving: Parking fee in the city center is NZD 8/hour. It is recommended to stay in a B&B with parking spaces. 📸The holy land of film production ▫️Oriental Bay: Pink sunset + white sand beach (golden time at 6:30 pm) ▫️Mount Victoria Lookout: The filming location of "The Lord of the Rings", the beautiful harbor captured by telephoto lens ▫️Red Phone Booth Library: An INS-style landmark in Civic Square 💌Real review ✅Advantages: Concentrated attractions, within walking distance, strong artistic atmosphere ❌Disadvantages: The wind is so strong that it makes you doubt your life!
