Introducing Nelson
Hailed as one of NZ’s most ‘liveable’ cities (that most vague of adjectives), Nelson is a bright, optimistic, worldly town, arranged around a flat grid on Tasman Bay. An alternate-lifestyle epicentre, Nelson’s streets are dotted with beautiful Victorian houses, many of which contain Buddhist centres, naturopaths, yoga studios and galleries. Artsy, dreadlocked wanderers mooch between cafés and coffee-carts, ducking into the Bridge St bars or poetry readings in bookshops. Beyond the urban fringe the coast and hills offer a plethora of activities, both relaxed and adrenalin-charged.
