The second biggest city in the South Island, Dunedin was founded in 1848 with the arrival of two ships of Scottish settlers. Sited on the Otago Harbour, the city bears the Gaelic form of the name Edinburgh and is known as 'the Edinburgh of the South'. A student city with the first University of New Zealand founded 1869, Dunedin is also a popular tourist destination with many interesting activities.
1. Consider the Architecture
During the Gold Rush of the 1860s, Dunedin quickly became the largest city in the country, and early architecture has survived with some lovely Victorian and Edwardian houses through the older areas of the city. Olveston is a beautifully presented homestead completed in 1906 and gifted to the city in 1966 after the last family died unmarried. Fletcher House, built by Sir James Fletcher in 1909 for the local postmaster, is a restored Edwardian villa furnished in the Edwardian style.
2. Love the Animals
Otago is home to the world's rarest penguin, the Yellow-eyed penguin which can be seen at the Penguin Place. The world's smallest penguin, the Blue Penguin nests in the cliffs in Pilot Bay on the Otago Peninsula, and may be viewed at the Royal Albatross Centre at Taiaroa Heads. Albatross is also viewed from the same area, with tours throughout the day. At the Korokonui Ecosanctuary, 307 Ha are ring-fenced with predator-proof fencing and enhanced with the re-introduction of rare and endangered species. Birds, fish, Geckos, Butterflies, Trees, Lichen and Tuatara are all present and loved here. Seals and Sea-lions are frequently seen on Aramoana Beach, north of Dunedin, and on spots around the Otago Peninsula. The New Zealand Sealion is one of the rarest seals in the world with a population of only about 12,000.
3. Investigate a Museum
Otago Museum is a bundle of fun for kids and adults. The hands-on aspects of the museum will keep you entertained for hours. Apart from the exhibitions and galleries, there is the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium with a 360-degree theatre showing films about the Universe, sailing the Pacific, the night sky, aliens and flying monsters. The Toitu Otago Settlers Museum has over 100,000 artefacts that tell the story of settlers from the earliest days to recent arrivals. From the earliest Maori settlers through the Europeans, and Chinese during the First Fleets and Gold Rush, Toitu covers them all. One of only three in the world, the Dunedin Gasworks Museum is sited in the original Gasworks building that was in operation from 1863 to 1987, the first and last gasworks in New Zealand.
4. Explore on Foot/ Bike
Dunedin has a number of walks whereby views of the city and surrounding countryside can be enjoyed. Through the streets of the city itself, there is a street art trail, with gigantic artworks creating a supersized art display. To get an overall vista of the city, the Pineapple Track up Flagstaff Hill is an option. The edge of an extinct volcano, Flagstaff Hill was once where the flag was flown when a ship entered the harbour.
5. Go on a Train Trip
Dunedin has a number of scenic rail tours that will live in your memory forever. The most famous is the Taieri Gorge with a choice of two destinations, Pukerangi or Middlemarch. The Gorge is deep and necessitates the train passing through ten tunnels and a number of bridges and viaducts. The engineering of the line is impressive, and the natural environment is matchless.

Dunedin a-wash with E Scooters
Thousands of kilometres have been clocked up on Dunedin’s roads, footpaths and cycle lanes on Lime scooters since they were launched on Thursday.
But although they've taken Dunedin by storm, they're already generating police complaints and there's been at least one visit to the emergency department.

Join me on this amazing cycling trip from the Northernmost point to the Southernmost point in New Zealand. I aim to create an entertaining piece of content about my travels 2-3 times per week. Unless literally everything goes wrong, but than still, I'll try to make a video about that! The total length of this trip is 3.000km with many hills to climb! I promise you beautiful scenery and all the things that go right and wrong by doing a challenge like this! By creating these VLOGS I hope to put a smile on your face!
Before cycling through New Zealand, I crossed the Pacific Ocean on sailing boats and visited The Unites States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, The Marquesas Islands, Tahiti, The Kingdom Of Niue, Rarotonga, Tonga, Fiji, some other small islands and ended up in New Zealand.

Dunedin bus drivers and cyclists swap places
Bus drivers and cyclists swapped places today in the hope of minimising crashes and deaths on Dunedin roads.
A bus and bike road safety workshop put the two groups together and let them see things from the other's perspective.
And despite the two groups having different viewpoints, an organiser says they have one thing in common.
