About Christchurch

In the centre of the city you can't help but notice Christchurch Cathedral, an outstanding example of Gothic Revival architecture in Christchurch.

Christchurch's other grey-stone nineteenth century buildings, tree-lined avenues and extensive leafy parks give the city an elegant, rather English atmosphere.

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

Expect a high standard of cuisine wherever you go—restaurants and cafes make the most of the region's delicacies and local wines.

Before or after lunch, take a leisurely journey down the Avon River in a punt.
