Known as New Zealand’s English city, and the largest on the South Island, Christchurch offers a vibrant urban lifestyle beautifully blended with a quaint, adventurous, outdoorsy edge. Largely regenerated after the devastating 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, the Inner City and surrounding neighbourhoods represent the city’s resilient spirit with lots of new trendy bars and shops, as well as revived landmarks. Meanwhile, the mountains, beaches, and forests that surround the city from every angle await to show visitors some of New Zealand’s most impressive scenery. Witness the scenes from the Christchurch Gondola, on a punt along the Avon River, or by bike as you cycle around its endless trails. Or simply enjoy the great outdoors with a glass of wine at one of Canterbury’s best vineyards.
