Christchurch - The Garden City
Christchurch is New Zealand's second largest city, situated on the Canterbury Plains of the South Island.
It was founded by English settlers in the mid-1800s and - as such - the city is renowned for its English architecture and beautiful gardens. Christchurch is a vibrant city with restaurants, cafés, bars, golf courses and a host of other attractions and things to do. Within 1.5 hours drive of Christchurch is the old French settlement of Akaroa, the mountains of Arthurs Pass, vineyards of Waipara and the thermal springs of Hamner Springs.
