About Christchurch

Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island. It's a vibrant, cosmopolitan place with exciting festivals, theatre, modern art galleries, great shopping and award-winning attractions.

The city was named after Christ Church, a college at the University of Oxford and was originally known as this. Christ Church was abbreviated to Christchurch through common usage.

An outstanding example of Gothic Revival architecture in the centre of the city, and one you can't help but notice is the magnificent Christchurch Cathedral.

Other central city attractions include the beautiful Neo-Gothic Arts Centre, the historic tram which loops the city centre, the Christchurch Gondola and the International Antarctic Centre.

Known internationally for its award winning gardens, Christchurch is also a place for events and festivals.

Whatever the season, you'll find a non-stop programme of entertainment with events like the Festival of Romance, the International Buskers Festival, Winter carnival, and Showtime Canterbury.
