Dunedin lives with and values its heritage
We have fine examples of working heritage like Speight’s Brewery, the Gasworks Museum and the Taieri Gorge Railway. We welcome visitors to the stately homes Larnach Castle and Olveston, and showcase standout Victorian and Edwardian buildings like First Church and Dunedin Railway Station.
Dunedin has a spectacular and varied coastline
There’s good surfing north and south and a host of safe swimming beaches. St. Clair with its vibrant and cosmopolitan Esplanade is just ten minutes from the city; other gems include Tunnel Beach , Long Beach and Brighton.
Dunedin is adorned by gardens
Protected woodland - the Town Belt –demarks the inner city. Gardens, public and private, adorn Dunedin and provide year-round interest. Four of them – Dunedin Botanic Garden, Larnach Castle Garden, Glenfalloch Woodland Garden and Wylde Willow Garden - are Gardens of International Significance.
There are numerous scenic walks around Dunedin
Short tracks criss-cross Otago Peninsula, the Town Belt and Ross Creek; and there’s the attraction – or otherwise – of tackling Baldwin Street, the world’s steepest street. Further afield, there are tracks near the Taieri River and Silverstream, half-day hikes along Dunedin’s dramatic skyline, and much more.
