Central City

The dense heart of it — laneway bars, rooftops and the Terrace strip along the Avon. If you're not sure where to start, start here. Everything's a short walk from everything else: dinner before a show at the Isaac Theatre Royal or the Court, a lap of Riverside Market, or a drink by the river when the punts have knocked off.
