Wellington / Mount Victoria

Mount Victoria Lookout Walkway

Walk from Courtenay Place past Mount Victoria's old villas and through historic pines to a lookout over the harbour, where you can watch ferries come in and planes take off. The loop takes about 1.5 hours with steep sections, or take the Number 20 bus up; near the summit are the Byrd Memorial and a cannon once fired at noon to set the city's clocks.
