An institution in NZ - one of the first craft beer bars. Great people watching, and nice outdoors area. Bonus that it is dog friendly too!

One of the best city beaches in NZ! Long, sheltered, pretty. Best when tide is not way out - but fun all the time. Good entertainment alongside beach too - mini-golf, bumper boats, waterslides etc.

Sightseeing

A walk down history lane. Old buildings from town were moved here to recreate a slice of Nelson from early 1900s. Great brewery and cafe too.

Essentials

While one of the big chains, it tries to show case Nelson produce too (look for yellow 200km stickers). And the music is not your typical elevator background tunes.
