Nelson
Experience · Marlborough & Nelson, New Zealand
The sunniest city in New Zealand — a small art-and-craft town that serves as the practical base for Abel Tasman, the Nelson Lakes, and a surprisingly serious wine and craft-beer scene.
What to do
World of WearableArt Museum (yes, really). Nelson Saturday Market. Drive to St Arnaud for Nelson Lakes National Park. The Great Taste Trail by bike connects food and wine producers along the coast.
