Known as the “Edinburgh of the South”, Dunedin blends proud Scottish heritage with grand Victorian architecture and dramatic coastal scenery. The city’s handsome streets are lined with buzzing cafés, boutiques, galleries and museums, but one of its true icons is the Dunedin Railway Station, an ornate Edwardian masterpiece and one of New Zealand’s most photographed buildings. From here, you can board the Taieri Gorge Railway, an unforgettable journey through deep ravines, river valleys and towering viaducts that showcase the region’s rugged beauty. For a taste of New Zealand’s aristocratic past, visit Larnach Castle, the country’s only true castle, with beautifully restored interiors and lush gardens overlooking the harbour.
Nearby Olveston House, a grand Edwardian mansion filled with art and curios collected from around the world, offers a more intimate glimpse into Dunedin’s affluent past. Nature lovers will want to venture to the Otago Peninsula and Taiaroa Head, where rare albatross, penguins and other wildlife thrive in spectacular coastal surroundings. With its mix of culture, history and wild landscapes, Dunedin is one of New Zealand’s most rewarding ports of call.
