Christchurch is considered as one of the finest travel hotspots in New Zealand; it’s currently a city of transition as a result of the terrible earthquakes that hit back in 2011 and is developing vastly with lots of exciting new attractions and modern buildings. This vibrant New Zealand city is known for its quirky little markets, food trucks, trendy speakeasy bars, galleries and colourful street art. Brightsun Travel offers cheap holiday packages to Christchurch.
Christchurch is a scenic city with plenty of natural wonders to admire. The Christchurch Botanic Gardens are notable which are home to beautiful plants, trees and lush lawns across over 10 gardens. To really admire the natural appeal of Christchurch you can ride the Christchurch Gondola up Mount Cavendish above lush valleys and be treated to panoramic views of the city, the breath-taking Southern Alps, Canterbury Plains and Banks Peninsula.
Christchurch’s proximity to New Zealand’s South Island should definitely be taken advantage of. You can take a scenic drive from the city along the Canterbury Plains to Arthur’s Pass National Park, a breath-taking alpine land of natural landscapes including forests, rivers, waterfalls, gorges and mountains, as well as epic hiking opportunities. The park is also known to be an ideal place to spot keas, a famous native bird.
