Dunedin, New Zealand

Off the Beaten Path in Dunedin

The real Dunedin lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find the authentic character, the unmarked restaurants, and the quiet corners that make a city worth knowing.

Dunedin is New Zealand's Scottish heritage city, with grand Victorian and Edwardian architecture, a thriving student culture, and wild albatross and penguin colonies on its doorstep. Walking its steep streets and Otago Peninsula reveals a city of surprising depth.
