Must-see attractions

Christ Church Cathedral

　　The enduring symbol of Nelson, Christ Church lords it over the city from the top of Pikimai/Church Hill. It's an unusual mix of Gothic and art-deco style, with its nave constructed in Takaka marble in 1932 and the sanctuary and tower completed in ferroconcrete in 1972. ...

Suter Art Gallery

　　Redeveloped in 2016 with a series of contemporary, light-filled exhibition spaces, Nelson’s public art gallery presents changing exhibitions from a collection that includes Kiwi big hitters such as Gordon Walters, Ralph Hotere and Don Binney. The complex incorporates an art-house cinema, an excellent gift shop and a riverside cafe. ...

Nelson Provincial Museum

　　This modern museum is filled with a jumble of cultural heritage and natural history exhibits with a strong regional focus, including an almost Easter Island–esque stone statue, beautiful greenstone hei-tiki (stylised human figures) pendants, patu (warriors' clubs) and even the gown worn by Nobel Prize–winning scientist and Nelson College alumni...
