The South Island’s largest city of Christchurch is often described as the most English in New Zealand, with its placid River Avon, beautiful parks and gardens, Gothic buildings and the restored trams that make it very easy to get around the city. Beautiful as it is, Christchurch finds it very hard to compete with the extraordinary landscapes and scenery that are within an easy drive of the city.
Things to do and see:
Set against a backdrop of majestic mountains, Christchurch boasts two rivers, two castles and many historic buildings that house a vibrant arts community. The best place for an overview of the city is the tower of Christ Church in Cathedral Square – keep an eye out for ‘Chalice’ the artwork by internationally renowned sculptor Neil Dawson.
From the square, you can take a walk to Worcester Boulevard, the cultural precinct where education, art, science, government, religion, history and recreation are all entwined in an area of less than one square kilometre.
The Centre of Contemporary Art, Christchurch Art Gallery, the Arts Centre and the Canterbury Museum are all located here, making your cultural explorations delightfully simple. Christchurch is also known as the City of Gardens, and the unrivalled queen is the Botanic Gardens, established in 1863 and covering 30 hectares of landscaped gardens with significant plant collections.
Christchurch is criss-crossed by an intriguing network of lanes that reveal designer shops, cafes and restaurants so do go for a stroll when you’re in need of a coffee or a meal.
