Nestled on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, Napier is a charming seaside city known for its stunning Art Deco architecture and picturesque coastal landscapes. This vibrant city is often referred to as the "Art Deco Capital of the World" due to its extensive collection of beautifully preserved buildings from the 1930s. But there's much more to Napier than just its architecture - from its thriving food and wine scene to its gorgeous beaches and outdoor activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy in this coastal gem.
One of the best ways to experience Napier's unique architecture is by taking a stroll through the city's central business district. Here, you'll find an array of Art Deco buildings featuring geometric shapes, bold colors, and intricate details. The best time to visit is during the annual Art Deco Weekend, where the city comes alive with vintage cars, live music, and costume parades. But even outside of this event, you can still join a guided walking tour or hop on a vintage car tour to learn more about the city's fascinating history.
When you're not admiring the architecture, be sure to indulge in Napier's renowned food and wine scene. The city is home to some of New Zealand's best wineries, producing world-class wines such as chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. You can take a leisurely bike tour through the vineyards or visit one of the many cellar doors for tastings and tours. And with a variety of restaurants, cafes, and farmers' markets, you'll have plenty of opportunities to sample the local cuisine and indulge in fresh, seasonal produce.
