Christchurch Tramway

Hop aboard a vintage tram for a leisurely tour of central Christchurch. It’s the most relaxing, fun way to get your bearings and see the city's attractions and landmarks.

The trams leave from Cathedral Square in downtown Christchurch. The route then crosses Worcester Bridge over the River Avon, loops past the Botanic Gardens and travels along past the shops of Armagh Street. All trams have an informative on-board commentary.

Why not combine sightseeing on wheels with your evening meal, and take an evening ride on the Restaurant Tram? The colonial-style tram has every comfort, and the menu features local lamb and seafood.

Practical Info

The Christchurch Tramway runs along a 2.5 km (1.5 mi) loop. The entire route takes 25 minutes. A ticket gives you two consecutive days’ travel, and you can get on and off at any of the 11 stops and rejoin the tram when you’re ready.
