Christchurch is a must-visit sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts and culture vultures. It’s the largest city on New Zealand’s South Island, harboring breathtaking landscapes and a fascinating art scene. Tourists can enjoy 360-degree views of the surroundings at Christchurch Gondola, including vistas of Canterbury Plains, the Southern Alps, and Lake Ellesmere. The vibrant street murals will also put you in the mood to learn more about the city, which you can appease by riding the exquisitely restored vintage trams of Christchurch Tram. Searching for dreamier experiences? This beautiful city’s wealth of green spaces is best explored by staying amidst nature.
