Christchurch Tramway is an inner city tram system which is an ideal way to travel
around Christchurch and to see the attractions, history and everything else that
the 'Garden City' has to offer while listening to a commentary which points out
interesting buildings, history and some of the cities best features.
The electric trams were introduced to Christchurch in 1905 and within a short
period of time they became central to the city's transport system. Prior to these
electric trams there were horse drawn trams and steam powered trams. Today all
of the trams have been restored to their former glory. By 1954 the trams
disappeared from Christchurch.
It wasn't until 1995 that the trams were reintroduced to Christchurch due mainly
to the Tramway Historical Society. The new system is a 2.5 kilometre loop
around Christchurch which takes in the following sites Cathedral Square,
Aquarium of Discovery, The Arts Centre, Botanic Gardens, Canterbury Museum,
Punting on the Avon, Victoria Square, and New Regent Street and many many
others.
The trams from daily from 9am to 9pm from November to March and from 9am to
6pm from April to October. The admission charge is NZ$12.50 and the ticket is
valid for two days.
