If Courtenay Place is the heart of Wellington's entertainment sector, then Cuba Street has to be its soul. An ‘alternative melting pot' , Cuba Street is known for its entertainment spots and watering holes, as well as the trendy dining and shopping in the area.

The personification of this spirit is seen in the hugely popular Cuba Street Carnival

Cuba Street has long been ‘interesting’ in a bohemian sense, but it has now stamped itself with a certain style that is very attractive to people who seek something a little different. Students and people of all ages love to shop or converse in the many cafes and bars, away from speeding traffic. By day it’s a great place to find a special book, CD or item of clothing, and by night it's just the place to dance or be entertained.
