Nelson Travel Forum

If you have only 2-3 hours in nelson city, what would you visit?

I'm thinking of the following:
a) Nelson Market (it's a sat. when I bypass Nelson, so the market's open)
b) Church Hill
c) South Street precint
d) on and around Trafalgar Sq, Trafalgar St.

If you enjoy museums, Founder's Historic Park is worth a visit. There's a cafe there as well as a brewery, in case you're thirsty.

The saturday market is great to get a taste of the local crafts..howevre it is very packed....church hill and the cathedral are beautiful..south street is nothing special....founders park is fairly interesting.. but otherwise you have pretty much covered everytihng there is to see in Nelson city..
Have fun

hum i know this isnt about the topic but, im 13 and im gonna be moving to new zealand, and my parents wanted to go to nelson, but im worried, is there anything in nelson wich could keep me "occupied"

nelson is very beautiful...there are nice beaches....there is a ski field an hour and a half drive away...it is a very safe place for children...There are amazingly beautiful rivers for swimming...they have a skateboard park....there are plenty of sports teams....all of the schools have swimming pools....there is a water park....there is a sailing club....I grew up in Nelson and had a very fun time...but as you get older it gets a little bit boring because it is very very very very small place...the people are friendly at first but I think they are a bit snobby...it gets freeeeeeeeezing in winter but no snow...where are you moving from?
I moved to australia and things here are very cheap compared to Nelson.....it is an expensive place to live....if you have an accent...all the kids at school will want to get to know you....
