Boasting a wealthy heritage and biodiversity, Dunedin is a city in New Zealand that any tourist will find too fascinating to resist. It’s a promising place for anyone looking for beautifully preserved Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and as the country’s wildlife capital, it’s also the perfect venue for any outdoor activity. The famous Larnach Castle featuring Gothic Revival architecture is a must-visit sightseeing destination. Of course, nature lovers don’t want to miss a date with the penguins at Otago Peninsula, a place that also features several walking tracks leading to stunning cliff lookouts and beaches. If you’re looking for Instagram-worthy spots, the rocky coasts of Tunnel Beach are ideal for taking pictures. You should also consider going on a stargazing adventure at Beverly-Begg Observatory when the weather permits.
