This street was devastated in the 2011 earthquake and lives were lost here. There are some great stores and shops slowing returning. Much more enjoyable than going to the malls. Start at Bridge of Remembrance and walk right down to H&M. You are only a block from the square where you can see what is left of our cathedral.
