Overview
Why visit Nelson
Few destinations in New Zealand match the vibrant energy of Nelson. Nelson (Māori: Whakatū) is a city and unitary authority on the eastern shores of the Tasman Bay at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. It is the oldest city in the South Island and the second-oldest settled city in the country; it was established in 1841 and became a city by British royal charter in 1858. A blend of traditional craftsmanship and forward-thinking development makes this city a compelling stop on any travel itinerary.
