Christchurch, New Zealand Travel Guide

Christchurch NZ Tramways

General information

With so many things to see and do, Christchurch's inner city is a wonderful place to explore. There's no better way of doing this than on the Christchurch Tramways. Get entertaining and informative commentary from the tram drivers as you take in some of Christchurch's memorable sights.

There's no need to book, just pay at the Tram Station or as you board at any stop along the tram circuit.

Thanks to the efforts of the Tramway Historical Society and the Christchurch City Council, the trams have been back up and running on Christchurch streets since 1995.
