Dunedin is the country's city of the south, wearing its Scottish heritage with pride. Surrounded by dramatic hills and at the foot of a long, picturesque harbour, Dunedin is one of the best-preserved Victorian and Edwardian cities in the Southern Hemisphere. The accommodation is good and plentiful; the nightlife buzzes with funky bars and delicious restaurants and the natural attractions are unique and fascinating.
Dunedin was named the most beautiful city in New Zealand at the 2018 Keep New Zealand Beautiful awards. Keep New Zealand Beautiful chief executive Heather Saunderson said the award celebrated the incredible inroads into sustainability, environmental excellence and community beautification that New Zealand was making as a nation. Dunedin's submission highlighted the city's recycling initiatives, focus on heritage, Keep Dunedin Beautiful's volunteer clean-up efforts and Taskforce Green's graffiti removal programme.
