Considered to be the best-preserved Victorian city in the world, Dunedin, whose Gaelic name means Little Edinburgh, offers scenic beauty and stunning architecture. Founded by Scottish settlers in 1848. this charming city features a wealth of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, richly festooned with spires, gables and gargoyles. A city drive takes in all the highlights, including the classic Dunedin Railway Station, lovingly nicknamed "Gingerbread George" and the grandest "gingerbread house" you've ever seen. Admire the Octagon, an eight-sided plaza that forms the core of Dunedin's lively business district.

What You Will See Along the Way:
Depart the pier and enjoy a 10-mile drive along the eastern shoreline of Otago Harbour en route to Baldwin Street, the steepest residential street in the world. You will climb Signal Hill for spectacular views across Dunedin and Otago Peninsula.
