The best things to do in Christchurch



Many of the things to do in Christchurch showcase the unique history of New Zealand, with its mix of British and ancient Maori influences. One example is the cathedral, which is one of the most popular places to visit in Christchurch. It is an Anglican cathedral built in the second half of the 19th century. It is located in the center of the city, surrounded by Cathedral Square, and has a tower that reaches 63 meters hig. If you're looking for active stuff to do in Christchurch, climb the tower and enjoy beautiful views of the city. The tower has been damaged by earthquakes three times, but remains accessible to the public.

Other important Christchurch attractions include another cathedral, the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. Here you'll find more breathtaking views. For history buffs, the question of what to do in Christchurch is easily answered. Visit the Redcliff Caves and you can see the archaeological evidence that shows that the area where the city stands today was first settled by Maori tribes.

For some fun Christchurch activities, walk through the gardens and parks, the Botanical Gardens, Hagley Park, Mona Vale, Riccarton House, and Bush, all of which are beautiful things to see in Christchurch. Culturally you can visit many museums and art galleries.
