Destination Overview

With a population of 350,000, Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island. Fondly known as the Garden City, Christchurch is perhaps the most English of all the cities in the country. 

The city was named after an Oxford college, and those on holiday in Christchurch will understand why when they see the neo-Gothic architecture and the punting on the gently winding river.  The Englishness is however largely skin deep and in recent years the traditional English conservatism has evolved into a lively and youthful city with an explosion of bars, restaurants, night-life, theatre music and street entertainment. Christchurch holidays promise an eclectic mix of historic elegance and contemporary culture. Being the gateway to the South Island, holidays in Christchurch are an easy add on to any New Zealand Itinerary.  Those on a Christchurch holiday will discover that there is both plenty to do in the city itself and in the surrounding areas. Holidays to Christchurch usually begin at Cathedral Square which dominates the Metropolitan centre. The square is a large, square cobblestone area with a cathedral adjacent to it. Driving, walking or cycling in the Port Hills is also popular for those on holiday to Christchurch as it offers fantastic views of Christchurch, the Canterbury Plains, Banks Peninsula and Lyttelton Harbour.

Christchurch

Christchurch has warmer and drier summers (Dec–Mar) than much of the rest of the South Island, but temperatures don't rise much higher than 22°C (72°F).

Winters (June–Aug) can be colder, and despite being at sea level, the city sometimes sees snow. However, temperatures tend to hover in the single figures rather than dipping below freezing.

Christchurch is the festival capital of New Zealand -- no matter when you visit, it's bound to coincide with a festival of some sort. The World Buskers Festival, from mid- to late January, is the largest street performance festival in the Southern Hemisphere. You'll be treated to jazz and comedy shows, as well as acts of juggling, contortionism, and more. In February, the city bursts into bloom with the Festival of Flowers  and the Ellerslie International Flower Show. The Christchurch Arts Festival is staged every 2 years in July and showcases international talent. The next one will be held in 2011. Showtime Canterbury, featuring the Canterbury A & P Show, is an absolute tradition in this part of the world. Staged the second week of November, it features thoroughbred and standard-bred racing.
