Christchurch Audio Tour: Cathedrals, Quakes & Stories of the Square

Explore corners that guidebooks pass over and meet the city’s restless spirit face to face. Which day sparked the city’s fiercest political standoff in the shadow of the cathedral? Why did a mysterious protest leave authorities baffled just steps from the city’s heart? And what became of the controversial sculpture that once divided locals along City Mall? Move between towering stone and modern glass as history clings to every surface. Unravel scandals and silent battles and come away seeing Christchurch through fresh eyes. Hit play and let the stories beneath the surface lead you forward.
