Napier markets itself as the ''Art Deco Capital''. The [[Hawke's Bay wine region]] is important to Napier's economy, with over 70 wineries located in the area. The region featured in ''[[Wine Enthusiast Magazine]]'' as one of the 10 Best Wine Travel Destinations in 2015.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.winemag.com/Web-2014/10-Best-Wine-Travel-Destinations-2015/index.php/cparticle/4 |title=Wine Travel Destination 2015: Hawkes Bay, New Zealand |work=winemag.com}}</ref> The region is New Zealand's largest apple, pear and stone fruit producer.

A large attraction is the Art Deco building designs. Marine Parade is one of Napier's most famous highlights – a tree-lined ocean boulevard with fountains, gardens, mini golf, statues and spas.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=Napier |url=http://www.hawkesbaynz.com/index.php/visitor-info/areas-and-districts/Napier1 |website=Hawke's Bay |access-date = 2 August 2015}}</ref> The National Aquarium is at the south end of Marine Parade. The historic Napier Prison is located off the northern end of Marine Parade. Recent redevelopments of Marine Parade have seen the addition of shaded picnic areas and playgrounds. Napier's theatre scene includes productions put on by the [[Napier Operatic Society]], based at the Tabard Theatre and putting on musicals at the Napier Municipal Theatre, another notable example of Art Deco architecture. There are high street and boutique stores as well as antique shops, art galleries, and studios of potters, wood turners and craftsman.<ref name=":0" />

The marina and waterfront in Ahuriri is a sea-tourism attraction. Swimming and family activities are popular in Pandora Pond – a salt water inlet by the inner harbour in Ahuriri – or on the beaches and playgrounds of Marine Parade, Westshore and Ahuriri. The several rivers that flow through the region are used for water activities, such as jet boating, jet skiing, rowing, kayaking, fishing, whitebaiting and swimming.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}}

Development of the region's cycleways and walkways has included dedicated cycle lanes being established on urban streets in the Napier-Hastings urban areas, as well as a large variety of off-road pathways, which are often used as mixed use pathways for cyclists and pedestrians, such as the paths that stretch from Bay View to Clifton. The Hawke's Bay Trails contain nearly 200&nbsp;km of cycleways that meander through and around the cities, and link the Napier-Hastings urban areas with surrounding suburbs and the local district.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.hbtrails.nz/ |title=Hawke's Bay Trails {{!}} New Zealand {{!}} OFFICIAL WEBSITE|website=www.hbtrails.nz |access-date=29 May 2019}}</ref>
