    Napier, New Zealand
    • Napier, New Zealand
    Arriving in Napier, it can feel as though the clock has paused in the 1930s. After a devastating earthquake in 1931, the city center was almost entirely rebuilt in the Art Deco style of the era, with clean lines, pastel facades, and geometric detailing. Today, its palm-lined streets, sunlit promenades, and carefully preserved buildings create one of the world's finest concentrations of authentic Art Deco architecture, complemented by a relaxed cafe culture and easy access to Hawke's Bay's acclaimed vineyards. ...
