One of New Zealand's most majestic and most photographed heritage buildings, Dunedin Railway Station is the jewel in the country's architectural crown.
In its early days, the station was the country's busiest, handling up to 100 trains a day, including suburban services to Mosgiel and Port Chalmers.
The Railway Station's Flemish style earned its architect, George Troup, a knighthood - and the nickname "Gingerbread George". Its beautiful garden also features a Flemish theme. Inside, stained glass windows and mosaic floor tiles by Royal Doulton pay homage to an age of elegance.
Leaving the Railway Station daily is an excursion that has become one of New Zealand's most popular visitor attractions - A scenic train ride. The Taieri Gorge Railway began in 1878 and this pioneer development is considered one of the finest examples of colonial engineering of its kind.
Once a year the Railway station hosts the iD Dunedin Fashion Show where the platform is transformed into a catwalk. The event brings together an outstanding line up of local and international designers.
Dunedin is located on the South East coast of the South Island. It is a city nestled in tree-clad hills at the head of a spectacular harbour.
