Scottish architecture on the far side of the world in a city that never quite let go of its heritage, the world's only mainland royal albatross colony nesting on the peninsula, and yellow-eyed penguins coming ashore most evenings without much regard for an audience.
The best time to visit Dunedin & the Otago Peninsula is Nov–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 17°C (62°F).
