You can climb up Christchurch Cathedral to viewing platforms 30 metres up the 63m-high spire for a bird's-eye view of Christchurch city. While there, examine the Christchurch Cathedral bells at close hand.

Earthquakes have rocked Christchurch and damaged the cathedral spire on a few occasions, toppling it down once to Cathedral Square.
