Sightseeing Overview

With tree-lined avenues, beautifully maintained gardens (Christchurch is know as the ‘garden city'), old fashioned trams, restored heritage buildings and a little river meandering along manicured greens, Christchurch makes a picture-perfect city. Indeed, you would be forgiven for believing that you have stumbled upon a very quaint English town: they even sing Christmas carols in Victoria Square in December here.

There is plenty to keep visitors of all ages entertained, and plenty to do indoors and out, as Christchurch boasts many exciting attractions, including the Christchurch Gondola, the famous Botanical Gardens (which boast the finest collection of exotic and indigenous plants in New Zealand), the Antarctic Centre (the only one of its kind in the world) and the striking Christchurch Gallery, to mention but a few.
