THE BEST OF DUNEDIN

Dunedin, often referred to as the "Edinburgh of the South," is a city rich in history, culture, and stunning natural landscapes. Known for its Scottish heritage, Dunedin boasts a vibrant art scene, beautifully preserved Victorian and Edwardian architecture, and breathtaking coastal views. Travellers can explore iconic landmarks like the Dunedin Railway Station, one of New Zealand’s most photographed buildings, and the Otago Peninsula, home to rare wildlife such as albatrosses and penguins. Baldwin Street, the world’s steepest residential street, and the Dunedin Botanic Garden are must-visit spots for those seeking unique experiences.

The best time to visit Dunedin is during the warmer months of December to February, when the weather is mild, perfect for exploring the beaches and outdoor attractions. For those who enjoy a cozier vibe, autumn (March-May) offers beautiful fall colors and fewer crowds, while winter (June-August) is ideal for visiting the city’s museums, galleries, and cozy cafés. No matter the season, Dunedin offers a unique blend of history, art, and natural beauty.
