Must say quiet it reminded me of Indian movie where a girl goes to a railway station and has amazing time roaming europe.. Similar kind of station which has europeon feel and you can sence pretty silence there,click picture and also at 1st floor there is gallery and near station there is a Restro where you can enjoy some meal. Cheers....!

Such a great old building. It is a lovely example of when they put the time and craftsmanship into constructing public buildings. The combination of "subway tile", wooden molding, and tile flooring is stunning. Take your time and enjoy the history.

Build in the beginning of last century, restored building that very well taken care of as well as landscaping surrounding it. It is a must to be seen sight in Dunedin, New Zealand. Frame of sport and Art museum inside of it. But too impressive. But impressive from outside, you can even see old train with conductor, who by the way was not too friendly. Flowers and landscape was just perfect! Recommend if visiting Dunedin.

This is a very nice and old train station. The overall vibe is very historic and it does have historical importance too. The station building is well maintained and open for visitors. Dunedin railway tours start from this place. We couldn't experience that due to time constraints, but it is a highly recommended activity if one has got time. The surrounding areas are scenic and clean. There is an art gallery inside the train station building which is worth a visit too. The gardens outside the premises are nicely maintained and attract a lot of tourists. A must visit place while one is in the city.

We did the seasider train to Arc brewery, it is a beautiful train trip. The kids enjoyed the train ride, and it was nice to see the coast line from a different view. The train was clean, tidy and comfortable. Purchasing food/drink on board was quite expensive but that would be my only down side. Everything else was very enjoyable. .

It was an great experience on the Victorian trip... a bit too short stay in Omaru though. We hardly had time to walk around, take photos and have a meal in the rush. I would go again if the time there would be longer so we don't feel like rushing through everything. We enjoyed the spectacular views that can only be seen from the train.

Beautiful architecture unfortunately with ongoing renovations. Still worth a wander.

Went on the Inlander trip. Amazing scenic journey. Went through a bunch of tunnels, century old bridges. There are open spaces between the carriages to have a great view.

Dunedin is one of the greatest citys in New Zealand, The heritage and culture is vast and the train station is something to marvel. It's been maintained throughout the ages and still stands proudly with a team of friendly staff inside to answer any questions you may have.

The Dunedin Railway Station is a lovely old building that is in great condition given its age. A must see for anyone visiting Dunedin and has an interest in architecture and railway stations.

The station is partially open as it’s under renovation. Beautiful architecture and there is the National sports museum and an art gallery located upstairs.

A building with interesting old architectural style on windows, floor tiles, wall sculpture, roof. We came here when it was under repair and there were no trains. Hopefully it will be restored soon so that everyone can fully appreciate its beauty.

Absolutely stunning old rail station. Amazing architecture outside and in. The tile work inside is not to be missed. Definitely should stop here if you are in Dunedin. Free.

Beautiful historic building that still serves as a railway station. Don’t miss the mosaic tiles in the entry hall. There’s also an art museum on the first floor.

A must visit while passing Dunedin. It is a symbol of colonial style buildings and free for anyone. We visited there on a Tuesday evening and gates were closed by 7.30pm. The railway building is historic and there is an art gallery upstairs. He front yard is full of flowers during summer. So not forget to take a photo on the platform with Dunedin name board on background.

Leaving from the amazing Dunedin Station, I had the chance to ride both The Inlander (morning) and The Seasider (afternoon) as they were both running on the same day. It’s a great way to enjoy some of Dunedin’s beautiful natural landscapes not easily accessible otherwise. The Inlander includes a stop at Hinton where passengers can hop off and stretch their legs while the locomotive was re-orientated for the return trip. For The Seasider, it stops at a certain point during the journey before the locomotive is re-set for the journey back to Dunedin. Refreshments are available on board both services. Darryl, our guide on both trips, provided commentary sharing points of interest along each journey. He, along with the rest of the crew, were friendly and available for assistance at boarding and throughout the journey. I enjoyed both trips. However, if I had to choose one, I would recommend The Seasider as I found travelling along the coastline was more picturesque. Even if you don't plan on taking a trip, consider visiting Dunedin Station which is a beautiful historical building. The exterior was being renovated when I was there. However, the interior was open and worth having a look around.

This old train station is one attraction spot to visit. Build in last century is such a stunning building in Dunedin. Good photos spot for visitors.

Stunning garden out front and a well kept train stored away to the right. There was a very lovely man who was telling me information about the train as well. Definitely worth a look!!

An interesting place to visit if you like old architecture and history. - Ticket price for the castle and garden for adults is 37$ , children 5-14 is 12$. - Ticket for family of 2 adults and 4 children (5-14) is 86$. - Garden only : adults $18.50, $5 for children (5-14). The castle is large with many rooms, each room has many antique items of different styles, they are well preserved. Up on the roof top of the castle you will have a beautiful view and cover the surrounding scenery. Garden in winter little flowers, good walk around. It's on the way to see penguins and albatross. Souvenir shop inside the castle right at the exit door with many interesting items.

It was so cool to see a real castle! Only bought the garden ticket to look around outdoors but you can buy the garden and castle tickets to see inside the castle too. So many different areas to explore on the castle grounds and the map and information provided at the ticket booth were very helpful.

Such a beautiful place and worth going out of your way to visit. Take your time, see every room, and go all the way to the tower. The cafe has good food at a reasonable price. I had the scone and was very impressed. The gardens are lovely and great for a stroll.

Frankly the “Castle” isn’t much to see, and technically this is more a castle looking fancy house than a real castle base on its size and history. The surrounding garden and vegetation are actually more impressive than the building itself, but I do recommend coming over in good weather, and preferably in spring or summer so u can enjoy most of the amazing plants.

We absolutely loved our stay at Larnach Castle. We would definitely stay again. Their staff are lovely, the room was great with a super comfy bed. Dinner in the castle was fabulous we loved meeting other travellers and the 4 course meal was divine. Breakfast in the ballroom was perfect too. As for the castle itself it's truly amazing so many details in every room, I could have spent much longer looking around and learning about the history of the castle. I highly recommend visiting and staying at Larnach Castle.

Definitely worth a visit when in Dunedin! Pretty expensive but understandable with the ongoing renovations and upkeep required. Very interesting history of the original & current owners. Take your time as you’ll miss details if you rush. Great to end the tour in the ballroom cafe but again pricing is a little higher than a regular cafe. Make sure you take a look around the grounds too & catch the view out to the peninsula and from the tower!

Simply majestical and definitely worth the price to go in. Such an impressive and beautiful building, every room takes your breath away. The views are stunning. So much to see and walk through and explore, expect to spend a good part of a day there.

Amazing place, they are restoring and the entry money goes towards this. Very nice gardens with some awesome views. The castle itself is interesting and very informative. There are maps with information that are really handy. There's a baby change room in the toilets which is really helpful. If you have a baby, you'll want to take a baby carrier not a pram to be able to see everywhere.

Stayed in the stables rooms. Shared bathroom and showers. A bit noisy at when other guests were showering. Breakfast was a feast, with full cooked breakfast , or pancakes, and continental buffet. We had dinner at the castle, which must be booked in advance. Four course menu served in one of the rooms in the castle. Lovely atmosphere and excellent food.

Not many opportunities to visit a castle in New Zealand so had to give this a visit when I was in Dunedin. A lot of interesting history on the different parts of the castle plus a very beautiful garden to boot. Definitely worth a visit.

I've been to Larnach Castle before and it is a nice stop when you're out on the peninsula to see the penguins or the albatrosses. It is a grand building with an interesting history perched with amazing views of the bay. It looks larger than it really is but it will take some time to make it through as there is a fair about of information and history. The grounds are also beautiful and you should plan to take your time to explore. At the end stop by the cafe for a little refreshment and enjoy the ambience of the ballroom. I've visited in the summer and winter and enjoyed it regardless of the season.

Larnach Castle is an incredible experience that anyone visiting the South Island of New Zealand should not miss. The history, architecture, and the views from the castle are breathtaking. The castle is beautifully maintained, and the guided tours are informative and engaging. The gardens are also stunning and well worth exploring. There are restaurants and cafes on the property, making it a perfect spot to spend the whole day. Overall, a must-see attraction that will leave you in awe of New Zealand's fascinating history and beauty. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful experience viewed this beautifully restored castle first, went through the lovely gift shop, stopped at the Cafe for a little break, where there was a delicious assortment of food and beverages. We then proceeded to walk around the beautiful garden with spectacular view of the rolling hills and the sea.

Special experience... "original" equipped castle at ...no at Scotland but at New Zealand :). Sleeping in - even more special. Beautiful view and more beautiful gardens.

Absolutely amazing, If you do go, make sure you have plenty of time to explore and soak up the history. The staff are wonderful and the food is perfect. And the grounds are extremely well kept. The history is intriguing The admission fee is surprisingly reasonable, and the drive there gives you wonderful views of the bay.

Very detailed and interesting history of an early, wealthy Colonial family through to modern day owners. Great cafe, with a Celiac aware chef. I was able to enjoy gluten free scones with jam and whipped cream and a pot of tea.

Great example of a man's desire to have a big house on the hill The woodwork , plasterwork and general construction( including double glazed windows ) are amazing considering when it was built and where. So lucky it was purchased in the 1960's and restored. The gardens are also amazing as the photos during construction basically show a bare hill.

There are multiple places on the roadway to sit and view the amazing place. People also love running through the edge of the road and the view is extraordinary on the sunset

If you get the chance to come for a drive then you must do so. The views are incredible and well worth the afternoon (or even full day) you will spend driving, walking looking & photographing. True New Zealand.

I happened to be there early winter . Stayed at Airbnb with one of the house along the coast, if you can call it coast . The sight is so lovely . Walk a little further up and you will see the sea lions without gates and cages . Lovely place . Easy to get around to the only castle in New Zealand or back to town on main land

The peninsula is a drive out of the city. Once you hit Portabello road you can follow it around the peninsula. There is plenty of things to look at or to do. Larnach Castle is located nearby which gives beautiful views of the peninsula when not cloudy. There is also the penguin and albatross centers. located deep in the peninsula. Portabello seems to be the biggest town in the area with cafes, restaurants, and hotels. There are quite a few walking trails as well. We went down to Sandfly bay which wasn't too difficult and had quite a few seals basking on the beach. It might be a good idea to have some sort of a plan to save driving along the same stretch of scenic coast. The upper roads are also quite scenic.

A very beautiful and quiet place in Dunedin. The drive from Dunedin is breathtaking and you already enjoy a lot of scenic views before reaching this place. The road is not paved at the end so it is wise to take a 4x4 ride but still a sedan has no issue. There is no shop or drinking water so you should have drinking water and snacks with you. You are literally at the end of the world here as there is nothing in front of you but Antarctica very far away. I would say it is a must visit place if you are in Dunedin.

Nice drive for the views. Unfortunately due to bollards erected all the way to the end there is absolutely nowhere to stop along the way. Lighthouse at end cannot be accessed as it’s in conservation area. Really disappointing drive..

Very beautiful area south of Dunedin...

My fav. Landscape ever seen. Wonderful.

Excellent museum. I went to the museum with my family and we had a great time. It was a great way of learning about Otago history. There were a number of different sections. Very spacious and child friendly. I recommend 1-2 hours at a comfortable pace. Admissions by donations.

Was a great experience learnt a lot about the history of New Zealand and the general history in the modern day such as technology would recommend anyone local or coming by to visit as it is free, clean and very interesting and enlightening.

So much fun to be had. Cute little toddler tours the last Tuesday of every month with different themes and a craft! Awesome play area right by the bathrooms with tons of toys. Plus, entry is free (you can pay a donation at the front)!

Lots of different types of exhibits to see. Unfortunately could not do interacted exhibits due to covid! A souvenir shop and Cafe at usual tourist prices! But other than that great place to visit

Quite fantastic insights into the history of New Zealand. Arranged in different areas, such as military, vehicles, immigrants, vehicles, technology and so on... It is great that not only very old things are shown but like a timeline the development from then to the recent past. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would write, it is worth the entrance fee in any case, but it is amazingly even free. Should not actually be missing on the program if you are in the area.

How A-M-A-zing is this place! It goes on forever! Shame that we only had 2 hours. As we have only managed to cover half this place. There's so much to see that I forgot to take more photos! I did get a souvenir though! We are definitely coming back. 5 stars 🖐️

During our Port Chalmers stop, we hopped on a shuttle to reach Dunedin. The museum in the vicinity captivated our interest, prompting us to delve into its offerings. Upon entering, the welcoming museum staff provided guidance on how to commence our exploration. The museum is thoughtfully organized, featuring distinct sections that showcase a diverse array of artifacts from the past. This meticulous arrangement allowed us to embark on a journey through different historical periods, providing a comprehensive and enriching experience.

Great collections of historical value. Staff are very pleasant. Great stop for visitors as you can leave your bags at the reception. 45 minutes may be enough to look around the museum. They also have a nice Cafe and gift shop by the entrance. If you are done enjoying the arts and history here, this museum is literally beside the Railway on one side and the Chinese Gardens on the other.

An excellent local museum that tells the story of the settlement of Dunedin from both the Maōri and Pakeha perspectives. The location in a former 1930s art deco bus station is amazing.

Lots to see and learn about, love all the old stuff. Like the old boat quarters, oven and train carriages. Fun to look at all the names and try find family. Kids might be a bored but I had a good time.

Definitely worth the visit while visiting the city or just go on rainy afternoon. So much local history packed in one place! We visited on Anzac day. And place was fairly quiet with great atmosphere. Give it plenty of time, we stayed 3 hrs. One can try on a wedding dress or buy an old penny for use of polyphon inside the exhibit. Climb aboard of a 100year old tram cart. Fun for both adults and kids with a coffee shop and plenty of souvenirs, goods or related books to buy. Place is wheel chair accesible and has toilets in front and in the exhibit area as well.

Free! Very interesting. Room with all the photos of early settlers is amazingly informative on each of their stories in the region. Worth a look when visiting.

A really good museum, feels like being brought back to the 19th and 20th century! Plenty of displays and interactive information. Parking next to the museum is $2/h. There is a free parking behind the train station, 400m walk to the museum through the bridge. They have a beautiful gift shop and cafe. There are a few toilets, one is the modern one behind the cafe and an old interesting looking toilet near the children's area.

Fascinating museum documenting the peoples and cultures which have played a role in the development of the Otago region, with an emphasis on Dunedin, to what it is today. Plenty of interesting exhibits and information panels bring the history and people’s stories to life for visitors. Easily spend a couple of hours here taking full advantage of the interactive displays. Well worth a visit if you are passing through Dunedin.

One of the best museums we've been to in a long while. Very informative about the early settlers along with moving into life through the years. Lots to see and do. In Dunedin, would thoroughly recommend a visit. The café is very good too!

Theo and the team are fantastic. We used their Auditorium space for a conference this past weekend. Theo was easy to chat with about any issues we had and all the staff were really friendly and helpful. The space itself is roomy and has great accoustic qualities, perfect for recording and video recording speakers and a podcast. Facilities really clean. I also wandered through (half) the museum space too, it's beautifully laid out with accessible entry and ramps.

Really interesting exhibits telling the story of the early settlers in NZ and their interactions with the Maori people. Plenty of room to walk around and read information about each display, and it's free of charge!

We walked past this building, and another couple told us it was really good, so we went back the following day. The name is off-putting, with connotations of colonialism, but they have made quite an effort to recognise all New Zealand's people, the common heritage and shared history - often by intermarriage between the groups. There is a lot to take in here, and as a Scot a lot of the history is one of Scottish Presbyterianism, that I find it easy to recognise. Above all, there were some very good snippets of personal stories, that helped to humanise the story of Dunedin. There is a power in hearing someone tell their story from the past. One that appealed to me was of the town planner. It had been agreed that Dunedin would have gas lighting and the town was responsible for providing the lights. They put them out to tender, but he wasn't happy with any of the offers, so decided to design his own. I see that as a very Scottish response: "I can do better than this myself." One interesting thing is how prosperous they were, particularly around the time of the gold rush, they really were pioneers. That's only a very brief introduction to the breadth of the museum. Allow 2-3 hours at least, if you like to browse and read the information, as we do, rather than just rushing through.

This museum has to be on the list to tick mark as its free of cost and also wgen you will start exploring you will see many things which are interesting with the history facts of new zealand.The role models details you can learn and primitive things,clothes,household things are very welled preserved.Its amazing to visit the museum and learn so many things from it.There are lot many sections and also kids playing area you can find there to entertain kids.overall museum is worth going.

Our first stop in NZ, this is a must see site! Great for the kids, plenty to see for you and the kids all free, The coffee shop is well staffed and full of information and keen to assist.

Enjoyed the 90-minute tour at the Royal Albatross Centre, which included a visit to the fort. The tour proved to be an intriguing journey, thanks to our knowledgeable guide who added depth to the experience. As it was early in the season, the Albatross count was a bit limited, with only three making an appearance.

This is the only place in the Southern Hemisphere that you can see the Northern Royal Albatross nests up close. There's a sign at the entrance to the Centre indicating how many nests are visible on that day so make sure you check the sign. The tour (booked in advance) was very informative and it was a steep but manageable walk up to the observatory to see the nests. Binoculars and raincoats are provided. You spend about 20 minutes in the observatory and the tour guide helps to spot the nests with you. There is a souvenir shop and a cafe. Highly recommend visiting, just be warned that the drive to get there can be quite challenging with many speed limit changes and winding roads.

Love the view of the light house and the small gallery has so lots of history and information to read. I booked for an albatross tour but it was drizzling and too windy and cold, I have decided to cancel and refund. Til we return to Dunedin again, will surely take the tour on a good weather.

Really nice place to visit, very friendly and helpful staff. Depending on the time of year changes how active the birds are. We actually saw albatross flying around from the public viewing area rather than up at the viewing platform, so if you want to save on the tour maybe hang around down there. Bunker was pretty cool to see the only functional disappearing gun in the country.

The little penguin tour was great. The guides gave a brilliant introductory talk and then we were led down to the beach. We saw loads of little penguins, maybe around 50 or so in total. They were easy to see from the viewing platform. Doing the dusk tour to see the penguins was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Dunedin.

Jessica was absolutely brilliant! It is so fun to listen and learn from someone who passionate and connected to the land. Anyone enjoyed listening to her. Unfortunately there was not a lot of pairs to see and we all waited for them to take off so we can see their magnificent wings but that nature. If you can’t decide between this or the penguins definitely go for the penguins!

Dunno, pretty expensive tour cost. Only four nesting birds at the this time. Car park full of seagulls and poo. Lots of thistle. Great outlook and place to go otherwise. Bit of a tourist trap to be honest. It’s not the birds fault or anything - just a bit average Wish it was a bit more accessible.

Well worth the money. I highly recommend going for the 90 minute tour which includes the fort exploration. Time went by with quickly. April is a great time to visit because the babies are so cute and fluffy plus you get to see majestic big Albatross flying too. The gift shop has excellent penguin and Albatross items .Staff were friendly. It gets windy so bring a coat ,hat and maybe scarf. The drive from the cbd takes 40 minutes but there's often roadworks or bad weather so allow one hour to get there. If you arrive early no worries there's so much to see in the visitor center plus a cafe.I recommend as well get a Peninsula trust membership as you get free entry with a friend or 40% if going alone plus 20% off a gift shop 😀. Looking forward to coming back to watch the chick's development

Definitely the perfect viewing spot to watch a magnificent sunrise! 👌🏻 The waves of the ocean, sounds of the seagulls and the breathtaking sunrise will leave you in absolute awe!!! 100% recommend 👍🏻 Plenty of free parking available 🌻

Went on the blue penguin tour early September. It's only available in the evening. Its a bit of a drive from Dunedin. The road can get very windy. Arrived early so we checked out the gift shop until the tour started. The gift shop was closed when the tour ended, so best buy any gifts before the tour starts. There was a short and very informative presentation from the guides to kick off the tour. the group was then escorted down to the beach. Quite a few stairs to go down. It was dark but the path was well lit. It was also cold and very windy so warm clothing is a must. We all waited on a deck for the penguins to come out. We didn't have to wait long until groups of penguins started coming out of the Ocean and up the beach. They were very vocal and didn't seem to mind the large group of people near them. Quite a few came up to deck and you're able to get a good look at them. We were treated to a free bikkie while watching. The guides were great and passionate about their work. It was an amazing experience. Worth it.

I went to the Royal Albatross Centre for the night tour to see the Blue Penguins and had an incredible time. The staff was very knowledgeable about the penguins and the conservation area. It was a very memorable experience!

This is the place to view the albatross, if u are lucky. There are many birds outside. Nice to Take a stroll outside to the end of the "cliff". it is not that far. There is a small gift shop and a cafe inside. U can buy some souvenirs. Pilot beach is just down, around the corner. Car Park is plenty right outside the center.

Quite a lot ($50) to see a few albatross sitting at quite a distance - but would still recommend. Good to support the conservation effort and it's the only place to see them. The guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions.

GO HERE!!! this was one of the best experiences and tours we did in New Zealand. The guide was wonderful and answered every question we had. We then saw about 15 albatross. It helped that there were multiple nests (the right season), but overall it was wonderful.

Royal Albatross Centre hosted our Blue Penguin Tour and the photos show the elegance of these creatures in flight. Your visit here supports the needs of Albatross 🪽 and Penguin🐧(blue Penguin in disguise).

Fantastic conservation area with Albatross and Penguins. We didn't have time to do the tour but we spotted lots alof Albatross from the viewing platform not to far from the car park. Highly recommended the scenic drive to get to the Royal Albatross Centre.

Albatross are the world's largest seabirds. They generally breed on remote offshore islands and spend at least 85% of their lives at sea, but, at Dunedin's Taiaroa Head, on the mainland, you can see a Royal Albatross breeding colony. An in credible and educational experience. We also had lunch at the center's Cafe, it was delicious!

Good walk. Steep and a thigh burner as expected. Great views at the top with a bench seat and water fountain. Not suitable to drive for big RV or campers. Sedans and smaller campers probably could make it but no where to park up top anyway. Enjoy the exercise and walk it!

I really enjoy fun and quirky geographical things such as this. It is indeed very steep (who would have thought). There’s a decent amount of street parking on the main road. But be advised that this is absolutely on the tourist route, so lots of buses will stop. Honestly, it makes for very entertaining people watching with clueless tourists with selfie sticks in the middle of the road as a locals fly down the street 😂. Highly recommend a stop. And you have to walk up the street of course.

Not a nice place. Just a very steep concrete road to which tourists are lured to the annoyance of local residents. If you want to do a bit of sport, you can race up the 350m long road as fast as you can. However, when you get to the top, you have a good view. When descending, you can easily check whether the knee joints are still in order.

I'm very glad I ticked this experience off my bucket list. This street was pretty cool to walk up and down. The best part of it was the different options to either take the steps or the regular side walk so we did a bit of both. What an incredible free outdoor leg day workout?!

Well. Impressive. It is really steep, what can I say. You can park just below the street. Take a short walk up (5-10 minutes) and admire the view. People taking shots. Cars occasionaly go up and down.

A city tour took us to Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world (changes grades nearer to the top). I went a third of the way up and stopped when the sidewalk became stairs. I don’t do stairs whenever humanly avoidable. Many of our intrepid coach companions made it all the way to the top. It is possible to buy a certificate saying you did the climb (Whether you did or not). This is for the healthier crowd (I was not at the time) as the top is very steep.

Well, you can't visit Dunedin without checking out the Steepest Street in the World! We made the climb and it was made better with some steps to get you up. A great little workout and the view at the top of the opposite side of the valley is beautiful. Free to visit and don't forget the Steep Cafe on the next corner!

It sure is steep! You can work up a sweat walking up and returning down the street. The right side sidewalk has steps to help in climbing up or down. It’s useful to use the steps on the way down as that hits the knees. Coming up is not too difficult.

Quirky is characterized by something peculiar, unexpected trait or aspect. This 350-metre stretch of road in Dunedin, New Zealand is recognised by the Guinness World Records as the world's steepest street. Its official maximum gradient is 19 degrees (though there are little bits that are 21 degrees) with the ground rising a metre for every 2.86 metres you cover horizontally. A double entendre is always used in a funny way, and is not meant to hurt or offend anyone. Usually risque that lends itself to more than one interpretation. The people living at Baldwin street must be very fit and healthy which reminds me of a popular Olivia Newton-John song  - Physical. "I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like Making good conversation. I gotta handle you just right you know what I mean. I took you to an intimate restaurant Then to a suggestive movie. There's nothing left to talk about less it's horizontally. Let's get physical physical - I wanna get physical let's get into physical Let me hear your body talk your body talk Let me hear your body talk. Let's get physical"

A suburban street which apparently has the steepest incline in the world... I am not convinced, but it's recently been recertified by the Guinness book of world records as the world's steepest drivable residential street - a 35 per cent gradient, rising from 30 m to 100 m. Since you're in Dunedin you may as well have a peek and use the opportunity to get some exercise walking up it. Apparently some sprinters can run bottom to top in 2 minutes. I recommend you don't run down! And it's free,...

Leave your level and your idea of how steep something can be. Just imagine a road similar to the one in inception that curves up around then double it. Very steep and at an unimaginable angle. Legend has it if walk the entire thing you will be blessed with goat like features, narrower eyes, stumpier feet and little bumps on your head.

I visited Baldwin Street on last Friday 11 August 2023. This is the famous street in Dunedin. You can take the photo before you go up or you can also take the photo from up of the street with amazing view. Anyway this street also use for public, so you need to pay attention maybe some of car will pass your way. But they have a foot path beside. Guinness World Records calls it the steepest street in the world, meaning no street gains more altitude in 10 horizontal metres, measured along the street's centreline.. Must visit place when you visit Dunedin.

It's steep! You'll get a good walk in heading up the street, if you need to there are stairs and a hand rail.

Great experience but please remember that this is an active street and you must respect the residents who live on this street! I saw so many people standing in the middle of the street with no awareness for the cars of residents driving up and down the street semi-frequently. Please be aware that unless you're a resident of Baldwin St you cannot drive up this street in your own car. You can walk up the left or right pathway to reach the top and there is a fountain and a seat at the top of the hill if you get tired.

As someone from the Netherlands (which is quite flat) this was an interesting visit for sure, such a steep street was quite the sight. A fun experience to walk and drive on it for sure. Fun to visit if you are closeby just to experience the steepest street in the world.

It is indeed the steepest road in the world because of the acute rise in altitude in the shortest length of the road! Definitely steeper than Lombard Street. 21 degrees angle using my phone measurement equivalent 23% gradient. Check Wikipedia on its Guinness world records.

Very steep hill to work.. fun driving 🚗 going up. The Baldwin street, which is 1,150ft long, is a comparatively small residential road in Dunedin. But with a gradient of 19 degree, the Baldwin street is the steepest residential street in the world.

Easy work, just don't look down. Awesome viewpoint from the top of this small hill. Please be respectful of the fact that this is a "working" street, and people do live here. Also, driving to the top in your rental car does not count at having conquered Bladwin Street - use your legs people!
