Airport travel guide

Nelson Airport

Small and cozy, the city of Nelson punches way above its weight when it comes to things to see and do. The smallest city in the world to have a symphonic orchestra, it is also home to well-preserved architecture, interesting museums, and high-quality museums and galleries. Better yet, the city is also surrounded by three majestic national parks.
