The Port Hills, a verdant, undulating landscape, form a natural barrier between Christchurch and the harbor community of Lyttleton to the southeast. Crisscrossed by walking and cycling trails, these hills offer an outdoor playground for both locals and visitors. Instead of taking the tunnel that connects the two areas, opt for the scenic route over the hills. The journey rewards with expansive views and picturesque scenery, making the extra travel time well worth it.
