Dunedin: Home to NZ's Most Beautiful Train Station

📍 Dunedin, New Zealand Visiting in April, I felt instantly transported to the UK—this is the most British-feeling city in New Zealand! 🏰 A Scottish Legacy The name "Dunedin" comes from the Gaelic Dùn Èideann (Edinburgh). Founded in 1848 by Scottish Presbyterian settlers, the city’s grid layout, stone architecture, and even its university reflect deep Scottish roots. ⚜️ Fun fact: Dunedin boomed during the 1860s Otago Gold Rush, briefly becoming NZ’s largest city! ✨ Must-Sees 🎓 University of Otago NZ’s first university (1869), with Oxbridge vibes—think ivy-covered quads and clock towers. 🚂 Dunedin Railway Station Crowned "NZ’s most beautiful train station" for its Flemish Renaissance facade and mosaic-tiled floors. Bonus: The upstairs art gallery is a hidden gem! 🍎 Morning Market Right by the station—grab fresh produce and soak up the local hustle. #NewZealand #DunedinTravel #HistoricNZ #UniversityOfOtago #TrainStationGoals #SlowTravel
