Today Christchurch boasts more road cones and repurposed shipping containers than anywhere else in the world, waypoints in an epic rebuild that sees construction sites throughout the CBD. There is dust, noise, and heavy traffic at times. But don’t be deterred. The city centre is graced by numerous notable arts institutions, the stunning Botanic Gardens and Hagley Park. Inner-city streets conceal art projects and pocket gardens, dotted among a thinned-out cityscape featuring remnant stone buildings and the sharp, shiny architecture of the new.

Curious travellers will revel in this chaotic, crazy and colourful mix, full of surprises and inspiring in ways you can’t even imagine. And despite all the hard work and heartache, the locals will be only too pleased to see you.
