Deservedly described as ‘the garden city’, Christchurch City retains strong links with rural surrounds.
With a great selection of places to stay in Christchurch and things to do in Christchurch, it's a popular holiday destination and a great base for exploring the Canterbury region.
Unique festivals occur throughout the year, some driven by the busy arts community - music, theatre, dance and the visual arts.
The Arts Centre boasts more than 40 galleries, craft studios and shops with a great outdoor market on weekends. Nearby is the Canterbury Museum and Hagley Park. Winding through the city is the River Avon where you can enjoy a leisurely punt along the river.
At night experience the unique dining tram or take the gondola to see the city lights. Banks Peninsula, with its two main harbours offering wildlife cruises, walking and biking tracks, and historic places makes a great outdoor playground.
