Christchurch is known as the Garden City all around New Zealand and the world. This is the largest of all the South Island cities having a population in excess of 300,000. Situated at the confluence of the Heathcote and Avon rivers with a back-drop of the port hills, Christchurch is the hub of the South Island. The visitor will immediately notice the very English style layout of the city with its central square and parallel streets running east, west, north and south. With a great number of parks and the mature trees that are everywhere, the name the Garden City, is very apt.

In Cathedral Square, you will find Buskers and street stalls, or you can listen to our eccentric and famous "Wizard of Christchurch" speak. You may also enjoy the architecture of Christchurch's central Cathedral. The city also boasts a fully restored Victorian electric tram. Relax at the Art Centre and enjoy the variety of stall and galleries.

The Arts Centre of Christchurch is a vibrant and exciting venue for a huge range of New Zealand made art and crafts, shopping, education and entertainment. There truly is something for everyone, with highlights including over 40 specialty shops, fine art exhibitions, world-class theatre, art house cinemas, bars , restaurants and cafes, a bustling weekend Art, Craft and Produce Market, and an array of festivals and special events throughout the year.

Within walking distance is Jade Stadium, formerly known as Lancaster Park. Christchurch's Jade Stadium is one of New Zealand's leading outdoor sporting venues. The venue hosts international rugby and cricket matches that are broadcast to millions around the world. It also hosts many other first class soccer and rugby league matches.
