Where to stay,
eat and visit on a trip to Christchurch: a long weekend spent touring the
extraordinary renewal of the city that survived an earthquake
Before arrival, the prospect of a visit to Christchurch the city devastated by two earthquakes in 2011 was coloured with expectations of visible destruction and tragedy. Theres no camouflaging the damage, but the transitional nature of the citys new geography has given it new life. Bring your cameras and walking shoes; a weekend in the re-emerging capital of Canterbury is a treat for all lovers of the visual.
