The Wellington Cable Car is a historic funicular railway in Wellington, New Zealand. It runs between Lambton Quay, the main shopping street, and the suburb of Kelburn, providing a quick and scenic route to the top of the hill where the Wellington Botanic Garden, the Cable Car Museum, and the Carter Observatory are located. The cable car has been a popular tourist attraction since it opened in 1902, offering stunning views of the city and harbor. It also serves as a convenient means of transportation for locals, especially students attending Victoria University of Wellington.
