Metropol Magazine

Metropol was founded in 1998 in a city heavy with competitive media, there was no print media providing in-depth coverage of the city's pulse when it came to our unique lifestyle here and the visionary people that tirelessly contribute to it. His aim was to celebrate Christchurch and Cantabrians from the innovative hospitality industry to the creative designers in all fields, the savvy business owners and the movers and shakers who have helped make Christchurch standout as a great, little city on the world stage. Today Metropol, with a circulation of 52,000, is a national multi-award winning magazine, published fortnightly. Metropol's readers continue to discover the latest news about what's happening locally in the lifestyle scene.
