What to See in Christchurch, New Zealand    

Quick Summary: Located on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island, Christchurch is the largest city on the island and has a rich English heritage. Despite being hit by two devastating earthquakes in 2010 and 2011, the city has rebuilt itself back through urban regeneration and features New Age architecture, creative street art, and pretty green urban spaces along the banks of the Avon River, which bisects the city. Some of the South Island’s most beautiful natural landscapes are within close reach of the city such as the famous Canterbury Plains, the Banks Peninsula, and the majestic Southern Alps.
