Top 5 Things to do in Christchurch, New Zealand

From beaches to scenic Drives to Canterbury lush green plains to the Snow Capped Southern Alps, Christchurch has something for every adventure lover.

#Botanical Garden Christchurch

Spring is my favorite time of the year, oh yeah after 9 months of winter this season ushers in warmer, longer days with colorful blossoms. So, who wouldn’t like to say yes to Spring? The Botanical Garden is located near to the CBD, Christchurch and also offers a Scenic Drive on its way.

Make sure to relax & enjoy a hot cuppa at the cafe in the Garden and enjoy the warmth of the Spring sun.

#TranzAlpine World’s Scenic Train Journey

New Zealand is known for its epic and probably world’s best Scenic train Journey’s by Kiwi Rail. Due to the recent earthquake, the Coastal Train Journey was no longer available until June 2018. So we decided to go with the TranzAlpine Scenic Train Journey.

A 5 hour long Journey from Christchurch to Greymouth, which is located up North of the Southern Island.

This train Journey is worth every penny, and takes you back to the Glacier age what resulted in these Gorgeous Southern Alps

#City Tour: Christchurch Tram Ride

If you ask me what the best way to see the city, I will always vouch for trams and Kiwi trams were no different. If you’re a big fan of historical monuments and colourful walls then this mini ride on the Kiwi team will take you to exactly where you wish to be.

Hop on or Hop off at the local flea market to grab a local munch or hop on to catch the Insta worthy Street art, the local commentary will not allow you to be bored at all. A must do an activity with kids, they will love the Tram ride along the city.
