Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wonderful to have this as a significant reminder of those who have given of their lives. Such a beautiful shape and so eye catching as you enter this vibrant part of the city. Stand and soak up the views of the Avon River. Such a beautiful part of Christchurch.

A large structure in the centre of Christchurch. Hard to kiss and worth a look. The Bridge of Remembrance, war memorials in it is dedicated to those who died in World War I and serves as a memorial for those who participated in two World Wars as well as subsequent conflicts in Borneo, Korea, Malaya, and Vietnam. The Bridge of Remembrance was repaired and strengthened following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and reopened on Anzac Day in 2016.

Bridge of Remembrance is a wonderful dedication to those soldiers who passed away in World War I. It is a stone bridge with a sculpted triumphal memorial arch. Certainly worth a photo stop.

We wandered by the Bridge of Remembrance while in Christchurch and were touched by its beauty and meaning. Christchurch is a wonderful city and easily walkable in the central business district.

The Bridge of Remembrance is situated right in the centre at the end of Castel Street.
It's an archduke monument remembering the thousands of NZ soldiers who lost their lives in the two World Wars.

Dedicated to all the fallen soldiers of past wars, this lovely memorial is a nice tribute and stands tall to this day. It also serves as a gateway to the town centre where a farmer’s market with lots of food stalls and shops are located.

Can see this easily from the local bus tour. It is a nice photo stop and the area is pretty.
I did not get off the bus, but if you have time it would be a good photo stop

One of the interesting monuments to see in the town centre is the historic Bridge of Remembrance, which crosses the Avon River near Oxford Terrace.
This is a war memorial dedicated to New Zealanders who served during WWI as well as other war conflicts. The monument was designed by architect William Gummer and George Gurnsey and was erected in 1923.
Here you see a traditional arch structure flanked by two seated lions. It is an attractive monument worth spending a few minutes to enjoy for those who appreciate this type of sightseeing during their travels.
Note: The Bridge of Remembrance was badly damaged during the Earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 but is now fully repaired.

Visited on Tuesday 22nd May. What a great structure sitting proudly in the centre of Christchurch. While walking around we passed this way a few times during the day.
