Things to do in Dunedin

Dunedin is known as the Wildlife Capital of New Zealand and is home to the Royal Albatross Centre, the only mainland breeding colony of northern royal albatross in the world. If you book a tour, your guide will also take you up close to little blue penguins, the rare yellow-eyed penguins, fur seals, and sea lions.

If you love history and culture, Dunedin was named a UNESCO City of Literature in 2014! While you're here, you should visit Larnach Castle, New Zealand’s only historic castle and Olveston Historic Home.

And if you want to say, "Hey, I've been there", Baldwin Street is the steepest street in the world.
