The surrounding region offers adventure sports galore, and lofty peaks provide a snowy backdrop. Though lush with parks and gardens, Christchurch is the country's third-largest urban area. A free shuttle bus provides service downtown, and Central City is easily explored on foot. Sights not to miss include the Arts Centre Market, Christchurch Cathedral, Botanic Gardens, International Antarctic Centre and kiwis at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve. « less
