Mount Victoria is Wellington's best viewpoint — a 196-metre hill in the suburb of the same name that provides a 360-degree panorama of the city, the harbour, the Rimutaka Range, and on clear days the snow-capped Kaikōura Ranges across Cook Strait. The walk up from Oriental Bay takes 20 minutes through native bush, and the summit was a filming location for Lord of the Rings.
