Christchurch sits on the Banks Peninsula, about halfway down the east coast of the South Island. Its proximity to the Southern Alps and the coast mean visitors can enjoy a wide range of attractions, from snow sports to surfing.
Christchurch's inner city suffered extensive damage in the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, but the resulting rebuild projects have injected a new vigour into its previously old-fashioned image. Enjoy the mix of old and new in this exciting city.
