Christchurch is the South Island's largest city with a population of over 350 000. It is also regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in New Zealand, especially in terms of its architectural elegance. Christchurch is a thriving business centre, the place to be in the South Island for discovering the arts, and it is a main educational base.
With extensive public and private gardens and parks, the shallow Avon River meandering though the city centre, and a pedestrian oriented downtown city centre, there is something to see and do in Christchurch for everyone.
Cathedral Square - the heart of Christchurch, is one of the best places to start exploring the city. Although attracting its fair share of tourists, it is also well used by the locals. The Cathedral built in Gothic Revival style and symbolising the Church of England bedrock of this city, is a dominating icon within the square.
Christchurch has an International Airport, a Public Transport system with frequent bus services, the historical tram and a free inner-city shuttle service. Taxis are available 24/7 and many attractions can be found in walking distance.
