Quick Summary:
Nestled at the head of Otago Harbour, Dunedin is the second-largest city of South Island in New Zealand. Natural beauty abounds, and travelers will spend lots of time outside, whether it is exploring the flora and fauna of Dunedin Botanic Garden, seeing the vibrant public art in the Warehouse district, or dining al fresco in the courtyard of the Ironic Café. There are plenty of cultural attractions to include on any itinerary, including the Otago Museum, which shines the spotlight on regional history, and the Toi Itu Otago Settlers Museum, which provides a fascinating account of the early pioneers to the area.
