[[File:Guaka my birthday1.jpg|thumb|right|350px|[[Guaka]] hitching out of Christchurch]]'''Christchurch{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is the biggest city on [[New Zealand]]'s South Island with 350 .000 inhabitants. It is not huge though and some part can easily be walked. You can even try hitchhiking while staying on a main axe with enough space for the cars to stop if you wish to get out of the city. In this case you should consider having a board!

==From and to the airportAirport bus==A bus shuttle to the city center is leaving from the front of the airport, but is really expensive. If you walk direction of the International Antarctic Center, you will find a bus stop outside the "Spitfire Square" that costs just a normal bus ticket price.

Walking can be a bit long (>5km). 

If you're hitchhiking '''North''' are headed Highway 1 to Picton via Kaikoura and your ride is going Highway 7 toward Hanmer Springs you'd do are best near the Motorway Entrance, but not too close to itget out at Amberley, because best spot is near the traffic entering Charles Upham statue as the motorways moves quickly. There are traffic lights near the entrance, which aid in slowing down cars, and should allow drivers to get a better view intersection of hitchhikers. Get yourself (by city bus or other means) to Belfast which Highway 1 / Highway 7 is the suburb on the Main North Road immediately before the start of the motorway. Alternatively take not a bus right out good spot to Woodend on SH1 and hitch from the north end of town within the 50km/hour zonehitchike.

To get === Hitchiking South ===Take a bus to Belfast take either Hornby "Hub" hitch from opposite Denton Park. Or bus 16 or the 'Northern Star' to Templeton and hitch from the Bus ExchangeTrents Road intersection.

From the center of town, grab the Free Shuttle (Red) until the last stop. From there grab bus 88 to Hornby. You'll get off next to a Robert Norris cafe. Walk to the main street, cross to the other side, and hitch south (HWY 1)! === West ===Heading '''West''' you could try hitching from the beginning of Yaldhurst Road at Upper Riccarton or alternatively take the bus (or get dropped off) at the Yaldhurst Road/Russley Road intersection - this is at the start of State Highway 73 but there is a really good area for cars to pull over just past the intersection and before they get up to highway speed. == Other traveling infos ==See the [http[trash://nomadwiki.org/en/Christchurch Nomadwiki article]! ] [[httpnomad://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=-43.52051630708376&lng=172.53418922424316&zoom=17&trip=0&view=2 On the map at Liftershalte.infoChristchurch]]{{Category|City's}}[[trashCategory:ChristchurchNew Zealand]]
