Doing business in the city
Wellington doesn’t overlook the details; they’re renowned for friendly locals and impeccable service. Wellingtonians are a proud breed and that pride shines in the services they provide.
Situated in the centre of New Zealand,
Wellington is easily and regularly accessed by plane, train, bus, car and ferry. It’s served by major highways, the main trunk railway, inter-island ferries, and regular international and domestic air services.
Wellington International Airport is New Zealand’s domestic airline hub and is just a 20 minutes’ drive from the central business district. Taxis, shuttles and the Airport Flyer – a state-of-the-art bus service featuring leather seats and free Wi-Fi – are all on hand to transfer visitors the short ride into the city.
With a city centre just two kilometres in diameter, nothing’s further than 20 minutes away, and that’s walking!
Wellington can comfortably accommodate groups of up to 2000 within a short distance of major event venues.
And they make it so easy!
