Get out and about in the central city! Christchurch City Council Archives in collaboration with Christchurch City Libraries present the Ōtautahi Christchurch Central City Living History Walk. This digital self-guided living history walk takes you on a journey of what life would have been like for the people of Ōtautahi Christchurch during the late 1800s.
Taking around 1 hour and covering 2km of fully accessible pedestrian areas, the tour begins outside Tūranga, takes you to Victoria Square and follows the Ōtākaro Avon River to Cashel Street. It then loops up High Street to Cathedral Square and finishes back at Tūranga.
To get started all you need to do is grab your tablet or phone and head to the first stop. Free Wifi is available along the route.
