Napier is a city located on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is the largest city in the Hawke's Bay region and is known for its Mediterranean-style architecture, beautiful beaches, and vibrant art scene.

Napier is situated in the Hawke's Bay region, which is known for its wineries, art deco buildings, and stunning scenery. The city is close to the Bay of Islands, the Pacific Ocean, and the Ruahine and Kaweka Ranges. It is also the gateway to the Hawke's Bay wine region, with its numerous vineyards, wineries, and tasting rooms.

Napier has a long and rich history. It was first settled by Māori in the 18th century, and it was later settled by European settlers in the early 19th century. In 1931, the city was devastated by an earthquake that destroyed most of the city's buildings. The city was quickly rebuilt in the style of the time, which is now known as the Art Deco style. This style of architecture has become synonymous with the city and is now a major tourist attraction.

Napier is also home to many cultural and sporting events, including the annual Art Deco Weekend, the Hawke’s Bay Wine and Food Festival, and the Mission Concert. The city also hosts the Hawke’s Bay Marathon and the Mission Estate Concert, which is one of the largest outdoor concerts in New Zealand.
