Places to visit in Napier

So many places to see and so little time. If you want to experience what the city has to offer, add National Aquarium of New Zealand and Napier Beach to your travel program. If you get the chance, try to get to Bluff Hill Domain Lookout and the National Tobacco Company Building too.

Centennial Gardens is a lovely place to chill out in if you're exhausted from roaming around town. Find a bench, plop yourself down and rest your weary legs. Want some more options? Every destination is adorned with interesting statues, but some really make you look twice! Come and see one of the most distinguished pieces of local artwork, Pania of the Reef. And there's more. Glimpse a gloomier side of local history at Napier Prison. Familiarize yourself with jail life, look into the cells and learn about what punishments were dished out.
