In 1997, Christchurch was judged 'Garden City of the World' in the Nations in Bloom International Competition.

In spring, daffodils, tulips and cherry blossoms brighten this city's parks and gardens.

Checking out Christchurch's tree-lined boulevards and streets on bike is also a compelling option as much of the city centre is flat, making this form of transport a breeze.

Bike parks (and pebbled walking paths) weave through Hagley Park – a 405 acre site of green fields, tranquil lakes and streams right in the city centre. Broad cycleways will take you to Mona Vale, a historic Victorian homestead, with manicured English-style gardens and rolling lawns.
