Napier- A Charming Town on The East Coast of New Zealand

avatar
(Edited)

Nestled in the North Island of New Zealand, Napier is a city with more than just natural beauty. It's also home to a thriving art scene that attracts both local and international tourists. This is the second-largest city in picturesque Hawke’s Bay. A short drive away from Hastings, Napier Town is the perfect place to experience Kiwi culture without feeling too removed from nature and some of the best natural attractions on the North Island.

If you're in town in mid-February, don't miss the annual Art Deco Weekend Summer Festival, which attracts architecture enthusiasts and visitors with picnics and vintage events around town.

My trips to Napier city often happened on the weekend, fortunately, I hit the Art Deco Festival one time. There were a lot of tourists visiting the city, and many performances, costumes carved the streets. It was really fantastic.

It seems as if the beach in Napier is always alive with activity.

There are also many beautiful beaches and bays within minutes of the city centre. Napier is one of the sunniest cities in the country so the weather is quite warm and favourable to visit.

Glorious sunset ❤️lovely shot by a friend 🙂

Not only known for its natural beauty and lively city centre, but the town is also popular for its arts and crafts, with a strong emphasis on the art of glass blowing, with many public demonstrations and professional glass artists based in Napier. It is this diversity that makes Napier a destination to visit.

Napier is definitely one of the most beautiful coastal cities I've visited. It also has many interesting points of interest such as a museum, art galleries, parks, public gardens, and wildlife tours. Additionally, there are architecture and classical festivals throughout the year that I highly recommend visiting. 🙂

I travelled throughout the beautiful country of New Zealand and my time in Napier was one of the most beautiful memories of a lifetime. The scenery is picturesque and green from all of the trees and small patches of grass that line the streets. I'm glad that I just found out I'm the first person pinning this lovely coastal town on Pinmapple Map. All my travel posts are pinned on the pinmapple map. Thank you for visiting me at my blog. I hope you enjoy checking out this beautiful town on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island. 🙂

Have a wonderful day♥️

Thank you tinman, I love the life, landscape, people and everything in NZ. I believe Aus is also pretty and similar to NZ. That's the reason why I would like to visit and stay in Aus for a couple of years before I want to go back to NZ but the pandemic happened and my plan is delayed until now 😀
