headphones 01:13

Originally built in 1924, this gem has undergone more facelifts than a Hollywood movie star. With its elegant classical design, marble staircase, and chic brass fittings, you'll feel like a star yourself as you climb the steps to catch the latest blockbuster.

And speaking of blockbusters, did you know that The Embassy Theatre played host to the world premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King? The red carpet was rolled out, the stars shone bright, and nearly 120,000 fans lined up to get a glimpse of movie magic happening right here in Wellington.

After the movie, why not head to Blondini's Cafe and Jazz Lounge for a snack and some live jazz music? Or maybe sip on a cocktail at the Black Sparrow bar and soak in the ambiance of this historic cinema.

So grab your popcorn, find a cozy seat, and get ready to be transported into a world of cinematic wonders at The Embassy Theatre! Let's move on to our next stop, Courtenay Place.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.

Started this tour with a croissant in one hand and zero expectations. The app just vibes with you, no pressure, just you, your headphones, and some cool stories.
