About Wellington
Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, a compact harbour city at the southern tip of the North Island. It is home to Parliament and the government, the national museum Te Papa and a well-known film industry, and is the departure point for ferries to the South Island.
New Zealand uses New Zealand Standard Time, UTC+12, and moves to New Zealand Daylight Time, UTC+13, during the southern summer. Because its seasons are opposite to Europe's, the time gap with London changes twice a year. Wellington is among the first capitals to start each new day, being close to the International Date Line.
