Christchurch: Known as the Garden City, Christchurch offers a superb balance between the historic and the contemporary - where early settlers' architecture lends a surreal charm to a thriving, exciting, bustling city. Christchurch is best characterised as a place with colour, atmosphere and world-class attractions such as the Christchurch Gondola, the unique International Antarctic Centre, and the brand new Christchurch Art Gallery - a testament to the creative and cultural foundations upon which it rests. All of this is set against the backdrop of Hagley Park, more than 150 hectares (395 acres) of beautiful inner-city parkland. It is a relaxed lifestyle - the shopping is excellent and restaurants provide a multi-ethnic culinary mix topped off with a uniquely New Zealand flavour. From great-tasting food to festivals, Christchurch and the surrounding Canterbury region provide a number of unique events and festivals - the Festival of Romance, the International Buskers Festival, Showtime Canterbury, and the Winter Carnival to name a few. Most of the city's attractions are accessible by foot or tram. With this level of activity it is probably no surprise that Christchurch is a sought-after conference and convention venue. It is home to one of New Zealand's finest purpose-built conference centres, the Christchurch Convention Centre, which is linked by airbridge to the city's main performing arts centre, the Christchurch Town Hall. The convention centre can cater for gatherings from 10 to 2500 people, and there is a superb range of accommodation within walking distance.
