Dunedin: New Zealand's Oldest City

Dunedin—NZ's most historic city—gets its name from the Scottish Gaelic word for Edinburgh, and it lives up to the title with grand architecture, wild coastlines, and a lively student vibe. Here's how to explore its highlights: 📍 Must-Visit Spots ↗️ Baldwin Street Guinness World Record for the steepest residential street (35% gradient—try walking up without pausing! 😅). 📍 Baldwin Street, Dunedin 9010 🚉 Dunedin Railway Station A Renaissance-style masterpiece (now housing cafes + art galleries).
