Christchurch is a stylish and contemporary city, full of unrivalled natural and architectural beauty – 19th century buildings, majestic trees, extensive gardens, interesting bridges and meandering paths all providing a striking backdrop for the vibrant scene of ever-changing arts, cultural and heritage activities. 

Explore the cultural heritage in the city’s Cultural Precinct by foot or from the comfort of the city’s refurbished historic tram. View the fine art at The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu that exhibit's New Zealand and international art, or the Canterbury Museum with its excellent cultural and natural collections.

Enjoy the bustling weekend art and craft market stalls at the Art Centre with live street entertainment, music and a multitude of food stalls. Spend the afternoon relaxing with a gentle stroll through the wide open space and woodlands of Hagley Park.

When the sun sets, the lanes are transformed into newest, hippest places to be seen in Christchurch. Stay out late and sample stylish cocktail bars, laid-back pubs, and excellent cuisine then dance the night away till your feet ache.  One day is simply not enough to experience all the city has to offer.

There is a wealth of things to do in the city the only problem you’ll have will be finding the time to fit it all in! It’s all waiting for you – see you in Christchurch!
