About Dunedin
Dunedin is the oldest city in New Zealand, founded mainly by Scottish settlers about 150 years ago. For this reason, it is also known as the Edinburgh of the South.
The University of Otago, a key part of Dunedin, is New Zealand's oldest and top-ranked research university. The student life has made it the student capital of New Zealand; the rich mix of cultures makes Dunedin a diverse and vibrant international city of friendly people.
There are ample opportunities to experience the wildlife, including the royal albatross, rare yellow-eyed penguins, seals and dolphins. Dunedin is New Zealand's southern most major city, situated a few hours drive to some of New Zealand's most scenic treasures, including Fiordland and Queenstown, where Lord of the Rings was partially filmed.
With a wealth of culture, history, wildlife, climate and attractions, you'll get it all in Dunedin!
