Mount Victoria Lookout, Wellington

Mount Victoria rises gently to a height of 196 metres to the east of central Wellington.

Mount Victoria rises gently to a height of 196 metres to the east of central Wellington. At its summit lies the city's most accessible lookout point, with panoramic views across the Hutt Valley, Eastern harbour bays, Matiu/Somes Island, Tinakori Hill, and the Miramar Peninsula. Below the Lookout is a memorial to Antarctic explorer Admiral Byrd, comprising a polar tent with rocks from Antarctica. The sides have ceramic tiles depicting auroras, and at the centre is a bronze bust of Byrd above 3 commemorative plaques.

Bus no 20 goes all the way to the Mt Victoria Terminus. Alternately, you can drive up Lookout Road from Alexandra Road or Palliser Road. A lot of people prefer walking to the top. The quickest way up is to take the Southern Walkway, and then along the Summit Walkway through the forest, but the route does offer any views. The trail along Roseneath terrace offers good views.
