Christchurch Central is a bustling shopping and culture district set around a landmark cathedral damaged by the 2011 earthquake. That event is documented at Quake City museum, while Canterbury Museum shows Maori artefacts in sprawling Hagley Park. Summer roses bloom in the neighbouring botanic gardens. St. Asaph Street pubs and clubs host rock bands and DJs, and hip eateries serve lavish brunch and wood-fired pizza.
