Transportation

The best method to navigate Nelson is usually driving. It is very easy to come across a parking spot. Even though some bicycling-friendly areas exist, Nelson is not very amenable to cycling because there are a good number of slopes, and there are very few bike lanes. Traveling by foot is also not very feasible for home buyers in Nelson since almost no common errands can be run without a vehicle.
