The glorious bird eye view over Wellington, the best little capital in the world.

Go explore Wellington, go explore Mt Vic! Try come in the middle of the night for a romantic (windy) night just for both of you!

Mt Vic can be enjoyed in so many ways! First and foremost Mt Vic is my favourite place to go for some light exercise, up and down in about 45 mins, this trail is for everyone. The views on the way up and ultimately at the top are always worth the uphill struggle. If exercise isn't your favourite (like me!) the best way to enjoy Mt Vic is with a picnic at sunset. Such a beautiful, local gem for everyone to enjoy!

Mt Vic is my go-to destination for central city hiking, cycling, mountain biking, and sight seeing. You can start from anywhere, and make the adventure as big or small as you'd like...Pack a picnic to enjoy on one of the many grassy knolls, and be sure you've got ample phone battery for those instagram pics!

A quick hike up to one of the many lookouts on Mt Victoria will give you the prettiest view out over Wellington, and the waterfront. Stop at Mt Vic Chippery, or Five Boroughs for a bite on your way!

Climbing up Mt Victoria is something anyone in Wellington should do, with its fantastic view over the city, and the walk itself not too shabby either. It’s a place that’s perfect for a daytime destination to go and take in (nearly) all of Wellington.

Love Mount Vic for a run or walk in the Summertime #shoutme

Mt Vic is the go to spot for burning off all those Christmas cakes before or after work. Jump on your mountain bike for a variety of trails (of which there are various skill levels) or huff and puff your way to the best views in Wellington at the lookout.

If you’re up for a challenge this place is it

If your a keen runner try running up there!
