Its street art scene, the sizzling food scene, and its famous wine scene – it’s all happening here and you need to come and visit Christchurch.

• The old Christchurch tram ride is the perfect way to see the city in just 17 stops. All trams have been beautifully restored, to take you on a 52-minute round trip. www.welcomeabroad.co.nz

• Stop 12 on the tram ride will leave you at Christchurch botanical gardens. Since 1863, 1000’s of different plants grow across the 30-hectare grounds.

• Another great way you can check it Christchurch is by ‘punting’ along the Avon River. Rain, hail or shine it’s possible to catch a ride along the beautiful pristine water.

• The boats on Christchurch’s Avon River can carry up to 8 people- but if you are after a romantic cruise it can easily be arranged.
