Dunedin is famous for being New Zealand’s wildlife capital. Specifically, it is renowned for Royal Albatross Centre, the only mainland-breeding albatross colony worldwide. This wildlife center is home to many species other than albatrosses, such as fur seals and sea lions. Aside from its rich wildlife scene, the city is popular for its Edwardian and Victorian buildings. The downtown area features many stunning architectural works, including the nation’s only castle. If you are a huge art enthusiast, you can explore Dunedin Public Art Gallery or other local artworks in the area. Another point of interest worth adding to your itinerary is Speight’s Brewery, one of the country’s oldest breweries still operating today. Meanwhile, families with kids will have fun at the Tūhura Otago Museum.
