Christchurch
Christchurch, internationally recognised as “The Garden City”, is famous for its many beautiful parks, leafy avenues, meandering rivers and spectacular gardens. With the centrally located Hagley Park and Botanic Gardens five minutes walk from the CBD, the rugged Port Hills as a stunning backdrop, and an abundance of activities, attractions, festivals and art & culture, Christchurch has plenty to explore.
Experience a multitude of must-see attractions, including the Art Centre, Museum and Art Gallery, take a tram through the central city, picnic on the grassy banks of the Avon River or ride the Gondola for magnificent views across the Canterbury Plains to the Southern Alps. Or visit other varied attractions including the International Antarctic Centre, Orana Wildlife Park or cruising on Lyttelton Harbour.
Christchurch is the international gateway to the South Island, and the surrounding area is a diverse and varied landscape of rugged ocean beaches, wide braided rivers, spectacular gorges, fertile plains, and beyond to the majestic Southern Alps. From bungi-jumping, jet boating and skiing for the thrill seekers, to hiking in the Port Hills, visiting award winning wineries or punting on the Avon for those wanting a more relaxing holiday, Christchurch has it all.
