   • Stroll Along the Maitai River. I love how much green space there is in Nelson. The Maitai River is the perfect place for an easy walk or run and is close to the shops and cafes in the centre.
   • Climb to the Centre of New Zealand. A slight detour off the Maitai River Walkway is another trail that takes you up Botanical Hill to the Centre of New Zealand.
   • Shop at the Saturday Market. The Nelson Market is held every Saturday morning (8am – 1pm) at Montgomery Square and is one of the most popular things to do in Nelson.
   • Hike up the Grampians (Followed by Afternoon Tea) If you’ve already walked up to the Centre of New Zealand and are looking for more of a challenge, the Grampians is another beautiful walk.
