Lyttelton is a port town situated on the north shore of Lyttelton Harbour, on New Zealand's South Island. Originally established as a landing point for Christchurch-bound settlers in the 1850s, the town has maintained its historic maritime character while developing into a vibrant cultural center. The town features notable Victorian-era architecture, much of which was affected by the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes but has since undergone restoration efforts.

Lyttelton's cultural scene is characterized by its strong arts community, live music venues, and historic sites that reflect its colonial past. The town's rich maritime history is evident in its working port, which remains Canterbury's primary deep-water port. Local galleries, cafes, and heritage buildings contribute to the town's distinctive atmosphere, while its position in the ancient crater rim of an extinct volcano provides spectacular harbor views.
