CITY SCENE

CENTRE OF IT ALL

Our central city is a vibrant collection of diverse shops, hospitality venues, offices, and experiences, most of which you won’t find in malls or suburban shopping centres. There are almost 1000 businesses in the CBD, with new places always opening up!

And now there’s an excellent way to discover what’s on offer. The Central City Business Association and Attraction Studio have launched the Centre Of It All website. This is an ongoing selection of curated experiences to help you plan your next shopping spree or family day. There’s a member highlights section and a detailed map with a filter function, so you can easily search for something in particular. This website will be your new one-stop shop for all things central city related, whatever you fancy. You’ll also find out about upcoming events in the central city and profiles on businesses.

Curated experiences for everyone We love:

The central city of Christchurch has undergone a metamorphosis of sorts and is still transforming. It’s time to embrace this evolution and jump on board with everything happening between the four avenues.

Uncover the hidden gems nestled in the laneways and side streets of the central city. Beautiful artisan products are waiting around every corner, from locally distilled gin to hand-poured candles. If a culture hit is your vibe, take a walk around Ōtautahi’s music treasures. Whether finding the best sound system, fossicking through records at Smash Palace or New Regent’s The AV Club, or taking a night off to enjoy some live music and great food, the city’s centre has you covered.

Don’t be fooled by Facebook commenters telling you there is nowhere to park because there are now over 10 thousand car parks within the city centre. It’s also just as easy to get on your bike or scooter or take a bus into town.
