Things to do
Christchurch central city is a transitional city, emerging from the Earthquakes of 2011 to a new, vibrant city of arts and creativity. It has many new and interesting places to explore, including great cafes, restaurants, and many other pop-up attractions. There are also some great farmers markets, hilltop walks, and beautiful scenery to discover.
While you’re in town, why not extend your visit for a fantastic holiday? There is no place on earth with a greater variety of ecosystems in a small package than our stunningly beautiful New Zealand. Take the chance to visit a local winery, or explore nearby Kaikoura, Hanmer Springs, Lake Tekapo? Or take a bit more time and go further afield to discover Queenstown , the ruggedly beautiful West Coast or the sunny beaches of the North Island.
