Car Rental Christchurch Airport - Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers
In 1996, Christchurch was acknowledged as the outstanding garden
city from 620 international entries and in 1997, was judged Overall
Winner of Major Cities in the Nations in Bloom International
Competition to become 'Garden City of the World'!
Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island, with a
population of around 300 000. It is also, arguably, the most
attractive city in New Zealand, with extensive inner city public and
private gardens and parks, the shallow
Avon river meandering though the city centre, and a pedestrian
oriented downtown centred on Cathedral Square.
It contains one of the two main international airports for the
country, and is connected via a tunnel to a seaport at
Lyttelton on Bank's Peninsula. Christchurch was a planned
settlement founded by the English upper class, and this history is
still apparent, both in the city's style and architecture, and in
features like punts on the Avon, and the very English Christ's
College school.
The centrally-located 161 hectare Hagley Park, the Botanic Gardens,
the four leafy inner-city avenues, Victoria Square and spectacular
gardens such as Mona Vale on the banks of the River Avon bear
testimony to this legacy. It is a vision which is embraced and
perpetuated today by proud residents right throughout the city.
The
Floral Festival held in February each year is certainly one of
the most popular festivals on the annual calendar...a time when the
city is a blaze of colour.
