Long used by visitors
as a base for exploring the surrounding mountains, ocean, beaches, rivers and
lakes of New Zealand, CHRISTCHURCH is a thriving, modern city with much
to offer. Its Cathedral, nineteenth century buildings and lush parks and famous
gardens are quaintly reminiscent of a simplier and more gracious era. The city
is also well known for its festivals with almost back to back entertainment like
the Winter Festival, International Jazz Festival, Art Festival, World Buskers
Festival and Showtime Canterbury. Visitors will find that the recent immigration
of other cultures has created a mix of exotic cultures, clearly reflected in some
of the restaurants.
