Transported from the cruise ship terminal, we embarked on a brief exploration of the city. Our journey led us to the Dunedin Railway Station Museum and the Toitū Otago Settler’s Museum, both of which added cultural richness to our visit. Notably, the sidewalks were not only wheelchair-accessible but also impeccably clean, enhancing the overall experience. As we made our way back, we strolled past an array of inviting restaurants. Although we weren't hungry at the time, the tantalizing options along the route left us contemplating the possibility of indulging in a delightful dining experience if our appetites had called for it.

Our coach arrived in Dunedin and stopped in The Octagon for our lunch break. It had to have been 55 years or so since I had last been in Dunedin, but I recognized 4-5 places I have seen before. I would not have remembered them at all without seeing them, but seeing them brought back distant memories of the octagon itself, the church, the clock tower, the train station, and a few monuments. All sorts of bars and bistros can be access from here and there is a prominent statue of Robbie Burns. This is definitely the heart of the city .

The Octagon in Dunedin, New Zealand Visited on 2/2/2019 The Octagon is the CBD of Dunedin, and has cafes, restaurants and shops. It is an eight-sided plaza with a circular one-way carriageway. During the cruise ship season, which is between Octabber and May, the Octagon Art & Craft Market is held here. It may not be exactly a shopper's paradise, but does provide access to a large variety of originally designed and produced products from local Dunedin.

L'octogone n'est pas l'endroit le plus sexy de Dunedin . Je vais donc vous parler de la ville dans son ensemble car elle mérite une halte de plusieurs jours tant il y a de choses à voir et à faire dans la région . Parmi les villes que nous avons visitées au cours de notre "road trip" chez les Kiwis, c'est certainement une des villes de l'Ile du Sud que nous avons préféré car elle nous a paru, en partie, préservée des ravages du tourisme de masse . Ses jolies demeures sur les nombreuses collines de la ville , l'université, la gare, la rue commerçante de Georges Street nous ont beaucoup plu et constituent, certainement, un ensemble unique, en Nouvelle-Zélande . N'hésitez pas à y passer quelques jours ! Et n'oubliez pas de retrouver dans les pubs, l'âme écossaise qui continue à vibrer ici, encore .

Scottish Flair in New Zealand. The Octagon in Dunedin is a perfect place to get some food or drinks, have a chat, visit a museum or cinema. It's the truly the heart of the city. Don't forget to visit the Robert Burns statue and the beautiful railway station.
