Dunedin, New Zealand

Shopping Tour in Dunedin

The best shopping in Dunedin isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. Independent boutiques, artisan workshops, vintage stores, and morning markets are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the walker with discoveries you can't find online.

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.
