Nelson Travel Tips & Suggestions

Incredible town -- the hidden jewel of Canada. It's where we all want to live. Great restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, and cool people. I'll be back in January to check out the skiing. — Ozzie

Nelson is a fun, hippie and hemp-lovin downtown, especially on the summer. There are over 300 heritage buildings, a streetcar and of course the lake. Markets in the summer, lots of attractions nearby like caves and hot springs, and a great ski hill in the winter. This town is big enough now to have a larger identity, but the core is free-spirited, young-thinking, green, artisan and not permanent. Funny how so many stay. — LoneStranger

I am from Germany and I visited Nelson this year with my whole class for 2 months. It was the graetest time I ever had. Thank you. I really enjoyed the trip and love this small town. I live in Hamburg, that's a really big town, with 2 million people. So I hope I can visit Nelson again!!! — Julia Rünger
