Description |
Mount Victoria offers one of the best vantage points from which to see Wellington and its surrounds. From the lookout, you get an almost 360 degree view, and with the plethora of walks to explore there are glimpses in every direction and from every perspective. The hill isn't high, but it's steep, so you don't want to cross it from side-to-side; better to walk along its axis, and thus the popular routes are the Ridgeline Walk, the Haitai to City Walkway, the Northern Walkway and, of course, the Loookout Loop. But with something like 9 km of tracks to choose from, there's really someting for every occasion. |
