The Octagon is a great place to walk around. It’s all city center and has lots of shops and places to explore.
Our coach arrived in Dunedin and stopped in The Octagon for our lunch break. It had to have been 55 years or so since I had last been in Dunedin, but I recognized 4-5 places I have seen before. I would not have remembered them at all without seeing them, but seeing them brought back distant memories of the octagon itself, the church, the clock tower, the train station, and a few monuments. All sorts of bars and bistros can be access from here and there is a prominent statue of Robbie Burns. This is definitely the heart of the city .
Transported from the cruise ship terminal, we embarked on a brief exploration of the city. Our journey led us to the Dunedin Railway Station Museum and the Toitū Otago Settler’s Museum, both of which added cultural richness to our visit. Notably, the sidewalks were not only wheelchair-accessible but also impeccably clean, enhancing the overall experience.nnAs we made our way back, we strolled past an array of inviting restaurants. Although we weren't hungry at the time, the tantalizing options along the route left us contemplating the possibility of indulging in a delightful dining experience if our appetites had called for it.
Absolutely gorgeous park and great place to find shops stunning views and relax
