While making a list of the best places in Dunedin, you must include one of New Zealand’s greatest train journeys on the Taieri Gorge Railway in your itinerary. The train departs from the city centre of Dunedin into the spectacular Central Otago Hinterland and up the rugged Otago Coast which lies to the north of Dunedin.
It is a great excursion which will provide you with full commentary, friendly staff, sightseeing and a licenced snacks bar. As the train negotiates through the narrow and stunning river gorge you can marvel at the fleeting vistas.
Location: Dunedin Railway Station, Anzac Square, Dunedin Central, New Zealand
