Find cheap flights to Christchurch (CHC), New Zealand

Sitting on the South Island’s east coast, Christchurch is known as the Garden City thanks to its plethora of expansive public parks such as the 161-acre Hagley Park, the Botanic Gardens, Victoria Square and the lovely Mona Vale on the banks of the River Avon. This is a city with a relaxed vibe, where people watching in chilled out Cathedral Square is as much an activity as going rare dolphin spotting down at Lyttleton Harbour from where you can also see the Little Blue penguins, seals soaking up the sun on their colonies and historic Maori sites.

Christchurch’s International Antarctic Centre is also a must-see – it’s a great idea for kids who get to see what an Antarctic storm is like and learn about survival in an ice cave. At The Willow Bank Wildlife Reserve you’ll get a real feel for the indigenous wildlife of the South Island and by night you can watch a Ko Tane Maori cultural performance to learn more about how indigenous humans carved their existence from this region.
