Christchurch Tramway
Trams were part of the city's transport system until 1954 and
today these heritage trams have been beautifully restored, offering
visitors a unique experience that takes one on a two-mile (3km)
loop of many of the city's best features and main attractions. The
drivers, who offer insight on the history, architecture, activities
and points of interest, supply informative and entertaining
commentary. Visitors can hop on and off at any of the stops to
further explore the attractions at leisure. The most interesting
sights include Cathedral Square, the Aquarium of Discovery, punting
on the Avon River, the exquisite Botanic Gardens on the banks of
the river, New Regent Street with its pretty Spanish mission-style
architecture, the magnificent Gothic buildings of the Arts Centre,
and Canterbury Museum, with an excellent Antarctic exhibition. The
Chrustchurch Tramway was damaged in the 2011 earthquake and is
currently closed for repairs.
