Nelson City Centre Walking Tour Autumn 2024 4K | Nelson Tasman Region | Centre of New Zealand

Video date: 10 April 2024 Nelson is a New Zealand city on the eastern shores of Tasman Bay at the top of the South Island. It is the oldest city in the South Island and the second-oldest settled city in New Zealand; it is centre of New Zealand geographically. It was established in 1841 and became a city by royal charter in 1858. Nelson City's total population was 55,600 in 2023, up 1.1% from a year earlier. The place is a buzz as a dining and entertainment destination all year round, with alfresco dining on cobblestone streets and wonderful waterfront restaurants, complemented by MarchFest in Autumn, Moveable Feasts in Winter and the Cider Festival in Spring. More recently, pop up markets and quirky side street fare has become a feature of the central city with a microbrewery on New Street and market stalls at Kirby Lane. Nelson Tasman is an extraordinary, vibrant region where art and businesses thrive together among a stunning natural landscape. Walk the sun-drenched sands of Golden Bay or head inland to Takaka and see the impossibly clear waters of New Zealand’s largest freshwater springs. Walk the three-to-five day Abel Tasman track or, for a different view, take a sea kayaking tour around the coast and see a seal colony and little blue penguins bobbing in the water. Taste your way around the region by bicycle on Tasman’s Great Taste Trail or get your daily dose of adrenaline with a visit to one of the region’s world-class mountain bike parks. Or just relax... Sit in the sun, sip a wine from one of the local vineyards, and dine on the famous Nelson Bay scallops. Click to Subscribe:    / @newzealandwalker   #nelson #NewZealand #goldenbay #tasman
