We have a brief walk around the Parliament grounds where your guide will point out the iconic ‘Beehive’, Houses of Parliament and the Parliamentary Library building.

Built between 1865 and 1866 Old St Pauls Cathedral is one of the best examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the world. The Cathedral is particularly poignant for American visitors. A large contingent of the American Marine Corp were based in and around Wellington in 1942 and many Marines would attend Sunday services. The American Marine Corp flag and the American national flag of that time with 48 stars hang proudly inside the Cathedral. Here we have a guided tour with a Heritage NZ staff member who will provide an extensive overview of the history of the Cathedral.

We visit the Mustafa Kemal Atatürk memorial, the first President of the Republic of Turkey above Breaker Bay.
