Wellington Markets

(Wellington, North Island, New Zealand NZ)



Wellington MarketsAmongst the selection of markets in Wellington are a number that really do stand out in particular. Situated on Taranaki Street and close to Museum of New Zealand, Lambton Harbour and the Circa Theatre, Wellington Market is a great place to spend your money, and if you fancy a spot of friendly haggling, then there is a good chance that the prices can be improved upon.

Just a matter of minutes away by foot is the James Smith Market on Cuba Street, just past the Opera House and Te Aro Park, which enjoys an indoor setting and is therefore ideal if the weather is a little inclement. On Sundays, the Flea Market on Victoria Street also resides within this part of the city and is well worth a wander, offering all kinds of authentic Aussie tucker and hot snacks.
