Christchurch & Canterbury
Christchurch — Ōtautahi — is the largest city on the South Island and New Zealand's most fascinating example of urban renewal. After the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 that destroyed the city center, Christchurch has reinvented itself as a creative, innovative city. The surrounding Canterbury region offers the French-like Banks Peninsula, the spectacular TranzAlpine train journey, and Arthur's Pass as the gateway to the Southern Alps.
