From the world’s smallest bar to the steepest street – Dunedin has it all Spending time in Dunedin will give you the best travel mementoes and great Dunedin stories. Only in Dunedin can you run up the world’s steepest street, get a hot-water bottle with your beverage on a cold night, take a ghost tour around the city’s streets and catch a game of nude rugby. Dunedin is unlike any other New Zealand city. It has the best preserved Victorian and Edwardian architecture in the Southern Hemisphere - boasting many historical masterpieces – and its wildlife viewing is world class. The city prides itself on its proximity to rare wildlife. Dunedin’s award-winning eco-tourism operators will get you closer than you ever thought possible to seals, penguins and albatross. A tour with one of these conservation minded operators is the best way to see these special locals in their natural environment. Dunedin is a sweet, if somewhat quirky little city. Every July Dunedin goes bonkers for chocolate with the week-long annual Dunedin Cadbury Chocolate Carnival.

‘Dunedin is a vibrant city surrounded by a giant outdoor playground. Walk, cycle, kayak or take a tour of the Otago Peninsula. Thirty minutes from the CBD the peninsula is concentrated with unique New Zealand wildlife’
This adds a great cultural diversity to the city and a whole lot of spirit. Home of the rarest penguin in the world, the Yellow Eyed, New Zealand’s only castle – Larnach Castle, and the steepest street in New Zealand, Dunedin has a lot to offer the travelling tourist. At the heart of Dunedin is the Octagon, with many bars and cafes it is a great place to relax with a drink after a long day of sightseeing.
Dunedin is also regarded as the architectural heritage capital of New Zealand and is well worth a visit to admire the historic houses and buildings built during the gold rushes of the 1860s. You can reach Dunedin by plane via Air New Zealand’s domestic flight network or drive there from Christchurch in about five and a half hours.
