What to do in Christchurch : Tips, places, hotels and restaurants
Second largest city in New Zealand, Christchurch is located in the South Island, north of Banks Peninsula, on the east coast. It has about 350,000 inhabitants and is served by an international airport, but also by bus and train. In the city, the buses run, but local mostly use the car; bike paths are emerging gradually and allow to explore the places by bike, which is an excellent solution. Note: a tram line serving the main tourist attractions. The city, very dynamic, combines modernity and history, and you will find many parks and gardens to which it owes its nickname of Garden City. To visit: the botanical garden in the city center, Hagley Park where you can practice many sports (golf rugby through cricket), the neo-Gothic cathedral with its wooden ceiling, the International Centre for Antarctica, the center of Gothic Revival arts, the Museum of Canterbury and its amazing moa skeletons (bird now extinct), the Riccarton House, one of the oldest houses of pioneers, the Southern Encounter Aquarium.
