Wellington enjoys a well-earned reputation as New Zealand's arts and entertainment capital. It also has the distinction of having more cafés per head of population than New York. Theatres, streets and parks are regularly filled with the action and colour of a series of festivals that take over the city at various times throughout the year. Wellingtonians, like most New Zealanders, tend to have a passion for sport. Whether cheering on their beloved Hurricanes and Lions rugby teams at the newly-completed WestpacTrust Stadium, nipping out after work for a mountain- biking session in the Town Belt or kayaking on the picturesque harbour.
