Step aboard a piece of living history and glide your way to one of Wellington's most breathtaking viewpoints. The Wellington Cable Car has been carrying passengers up the hillside since 1902, offering an unforgettable journey that's as much about the experience as the destination.
In just five scenic minutes, you'll climb from the bustling heart of Lambton Quay to the leafy heights of Kelburn, watching the city unfold beneath you.

History buffs will love a visit to the Cable Car Museum, home to one of the original 1902 carriages and fascinating stories from the railway's storied past.
