Architecture enthusiasts will relish the opportunity to delve into Napier's Art Deco history. After a devastating earthquake in 1931 completely destroyed the city, it was rebuilt in the depth of the Great Depression in the most modern and innovative architecture of its time – Art Deco. Your informative and entertaining Art Deco Trust guide will bring Napier's fascinating architectural history to life during a walking tour as you stroll past architectural gems such as the Municipal Theatre, the former Hotel Central and the Masonic Hotel, among many others. When you think of the "Art Deco City," you may think that it was strictly used for commercial buildings in downtown Napier but the tiny suburb of Marewa was created using the same simple and modern design when they began building their homes after the quake. A coach tour through Marewa features street after street of stunning and beautifully-designed Art Deco buildings.

Special Notes:

Wear comfortable walking shoes.
