We hold 635 venues in Wellington — 559 places to eat and 76 to stay. That is more than anywhere else in Wellington, and 40% of everything mapped across the region. Nationally it sits 3rd out of 1,482 places.

Of the places to eat, 28% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Wellington eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 158 cafés, 198 restaurants, 106 takeaways, 73 bars and 24 pubs.

273 of the 559 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are chinese (25), japanese (24) and pizza (20). Relative to the rest of the country Wellington is unusually strong on malaysian, vietnamese and french — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 271 publish opening hours (43%), 143 are recorded as step-free, 69 have outdoor seating and 60 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 23% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Wellington runs to 76 listings — 51 hotels, 7 motels, 3 b&bs and guest houses, 11 hostels, 2 serviced apartments and 2 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 67% of the town's accommodation.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 56 of the 635 venues in Wellington carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
