Question

What's there to see in Dunedin for tourists? Is it worth going that far south?

Answer 1

Dunedin is great fun, it's definitely worth a visit! It is a fun town with lots of university students so the pubs are always busy - especially after a big rugby game! It is regarded as NZ's architectural heritage capital and there's lots of beautiful old Victorian and Edwardian buildings. There's also a lot of wildlife around and nearby - Otago Peninsula hosts the world's only mainland breeding colony of the northern royal albatross and is home to the world's rarest penguin, the yellow-eyed.

Gets chilly in winter but is lovely in summer.

Answer 2

Worth it for one is not worth it for another.
