🇳🇿 New Zealand Day 4: Dunedin One-Day Itinerary
Dunedin, the second-largest city in the South Island, blends modern convenience with charming heritage. But beware—steep hills and frequent traffic lights can make driving a bit hectic for first-timers. Slow and steady wins the race! 🚗💨 📍 Must-Visit Stops 1️⃣ Dunedin Railway Station 🚂 British-style grandeur—don’t miss the photogenic streets nearby! 2️⃣ The Octagon & 3️⃣ First Church of Otago ⛪ All within walking distance. Perfect for cafés, shopping, and quick sightseeing (but shops close early!). 4️⃣ Signal Hill Lookout 🌆 Drive up for panoramic city & harbor views—sunset magic! 5️⃣ Baldwin Street 📏 World’s steepest residential street! Park at the bottom and conquer the climb. Pro tip: Grab a personalized certificate ($2 cash only!) from the little shop on the left—quirky souvenir alert! 6️⃣ Tunnel Beach 🏖️ 1hr hike to dramatic coastal cliffs—100% worth it before heading to Queenstown! ⛽ Fuel Up! Cheaper in Dunedin—fill up here! Prices spike in Queenstown and beyond. 💡 Quick Tips Parking: Easy near Baldwin St. and Signal Hill. Cash is king: Some spots (like Baldwin St.’s certificate shop) don’t take cards. Timing: Start early to beat shop closures! #DunedinDayTrip #NZRoadTrip #SteepStreets #Viewpoints #TravelHacks 🗺️✨
