Tahunanui Beach

　　Nelson's primo playground takes the form of a long sandy beach (with lifeguards in summer) backed by dunes and a large grassy park with a playground, an espresso cart, a hydroslide, go-karts, a roller-skating rink and a model railway. ...

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...

Queen's Gardens

　　Immerse yourself in botanical history in this ornamental garden, founded in 1887 to commemorate the 50th jubilee of Queen Victoria's coronation. It's set around a horseshoe-shaped pond, with a bridge leading to a walled Chinese-style garden. ...

Founders Heritage Park

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. ...

Botanical Reserve

　　Walking tracks through this 12-hectare reserve ascend Botanical Hill, where a spire proclaims the Centre of New Zealand. The actual centre is 55km southwest of here, but the views are great regardless. NZ’s first-ever rugby match was played at the foot of the hill on 14 May 1870. ...

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. ...

Nelson Classic Car Museum

　　Nelson's Classic Car Museum houses more than 150 mint-condition classic cars, spanning over a decade of automotive history. ...
