Rugby World Cup 2011 Location: Wellington
The great thing about Wellington is that its compact size makes it perfect for World Cup fans to explore on foot, yet it's a city that's big on urban attitude. New Zealand's Culture Capital, Wellington has a wealth of cultural and heritage attractions to keep fans entertained in their leisure time, and the vibrant inner city is jam-packed with cafés, restaurants, theatres, clubs, pubs, museums and galleries. The city has been dubbed Wellywood, and thanks to the work of Peter Jackson's Weta Workshop, has provided locations and special effects for several Hollywood blockbusters including Lord of the Rings, Lovely Bones and Avatar. Wellington will host three Rugby World Cup pool matches at Wellington Regional Stadium
