Napier art deco
Experience · Wellington & Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
Rebuilt almost entirely in art deco style after the 1931 earthquake — Napier is now the most concentrated art deco townscape in the world outside Miami. Combine with Hawke's Bay wineries for a long weekend.
What to do
Art Deco Trust guided walking tour (1 hour, daily). National Aquarium of New Zealand for kiwi spotting. Cellar-door lunches at Craggy Range and Black Barn.
Art Deco Festival
Third week of February — vintage cars, jazz, period dress, the whole city plays along. Book accommodation 6+ months ahead.
