Welcome
Nelson enjoys a warm sunny climate and is on the doorstep of 3 national parks and many golden beaches, so you’re never far from the great outdoors.
The city is home to over 300 artists and craftspeople who show their work at small galleries and weekly markets.
A walk around the city will lead you through shops and cafés where you can sample the region’s wines. The Bishop Suter Art Gallery is a cultural centre for major local and touring art exhibitions.
You can take a tour of the surrounding wine district and sample the latest vintage at cellars along the way.
