Grade: Beginner.

This 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 an hour and covering 2km of fully accessible pedestrian areas, the tour begins outside Tūranga, takes you up to Victoria Square and follows the Ōtākaro Avon River to Cashel Street. It then loops around 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 most of the route.
