Dunedin

Dunedin, the 'Edinburgh of the South', is a city with a rich Scottish heritage, a vibrant student population, and a wild, rugged coastline. It’s got a wonderfully gritty charm, with impressive Victorian and Edwardian architecture, steep streets (including Baldwin Street, the world’s steepest!), and a thriving arts scene. You can explore grand old buildings like Larnach Castle, wander through the beautiful Otago University campus, or delve into the city’s natural history at the Otago Museum. But the real magic of Dunedin often lies just outside the city limits, on the dramatic Otago Peninsula, home to albatross colonies, yellow-eyed penguins, and fur seals. There's so much to see and do in Dunedin, from wildlife spotting to exploring boutique breweries and quirky shops.
