How many days to spend in Christchurch?

Spend 3 days in Christchurch, take a walk to Hagley Park, visit the Canterbury Museum and admire the beauty of the Botanic Gardens.

We recommend at least 3 days in Christchurch before your tour starts.

The Canterbury Museum was established in 1867 by Julius von Haast, who served as the museum’s first director. His own collection formed the museum’s main attraction. Christchurch has a fantastic mix of old and new, with most of the city rebuilt since the 2011 devastating earthquake. Pay your respect to those who lost their lives in the earthquake at the 185 Empty White Chairs – Earthquake Memorial.
