Napier is a city located in the Hawke's Bay region on the eastern coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is known for its unique Art Deco architecture, which came about as a result of a massive earthquake that struck the area in 1931. The earthquake devastated the city, leading to its reconstruction in the Art Deco style that was popular at the time. Today, Napier is recognized as one of the best-preserved Art Deco cities in the world.
In addition to its architecture, Napier is also known for its beautiful coastal views and thriving wine industry. The region surrounding the city is a prominent wine-producing area, known for its production of various types of wines such as Chardonnay and Syrah.
