For a better understanding of this capital city, your guide will take you to the New Zealand Parliament. There, you will learn about Wellington’s political role in the country, but also feel surprised by the distinctive architecture of its four buildings. The Parliament House, finished in 1922 and designed in the Edwardian neoclassical architectural style, offers a stunning contrast next to the ultra-modern Beehive, completed in 1977. Not far from this area, the group can find another pair of strikingly different (and still related) buildings: the massive structure of St. Paul's Cathedral, and the tiny wooden St. Paul Anglican Church. The industrial design of the cathedral never leaves visitors indifferent!
