Christchurch is a stylish and contemporary city, full of unrivalled natural and architectural beauty - 19th century buildings, majestic trees, extensive gardens, interesting bridges and meandering paths all providing a striking backdrop for the vibrant scene of ever-changing arts, cultural and heritage activities.
Wander through the central city lanes and alleyways of South of Lichfield, Poplar Lane and High Street where you'll uncover some of Christchurch's best shopping from high-end fashion to eclectic boutique stores. Take in the variety of rich architecture while you indulge over a cup of espresso and sample delectable cuisine at one of the many restaurants, cafes and bars located in these unique alley precincts. When the sun sets, the lanes are transformed into newest, hippest places to be seen in Christchurch. Stay out late and sample stylish cocktail bars, laid-back pubs, and excellent cuisine then dance the night away till your feet ache.
