The Place

Christchurch, New Zealand

City introduction

Christchurch, New Zealand
Christchurch · New Zealand

The garden city reborn — street art, punting and the Southern Alps gateway. Christchurch rebuilt from its 2011 earthquake with street art, container innovation and the Botanic Gardens' roses intact: punting on the Avon, the tram loop, and the gateway to the Southern Alps, whale watching at Kaikoura and Mount Hutt's slopes.
