The view from the top is stunning and well worth the time, there is a car park and bus terminus on the site, but no cafe or toilets that we could see. More

Panoramic view from pleasant heights. A must see for all tourists to Wellington - nothing like looking down from "top of the world." More

While the view from the Botanical Gardens is excellent, the views from Mt Victoria give both sides of the mountains. Easy drive up and down. Well worth the time. More

Views to die for, close to the buzz of the city, CBD is nearby. What else could oyu ask for. The views from the top of the hill are stupendous and deserve a regular visit. More

Best walk for views of Lyall Bay & South Coasts Best time to go is either early morning pre sunrise to see the sunrise or evening to get the colours of the setting sun. Don't go with out a camera you will never know what you will see. More

This is one of the places you must visit when in Wellington. There is no better place to view Wellington from, especially on a fine day. The low approaching aircraft may be somehat disconcerting though! More

It is quite a climb but the trip is rewarded with panoramic views of the city and harbor that have to be seen to be believed. This is a " must do" for anyone visiting Wellington. More
