Dunedin, located on the South Island of New Zealand, is a city known for its rich Scottish heritage and strong cultural foundations. As the country's first university city, it has long been an important center of education, with the University of Otago established in 1869. The city's Victorian and Edwardian architecture, particularly in the central business district, reflects its historical significance as a major settlement during New Zealand's colonial period.

The cultural landscape of Dunedin is diverse and vibrant, supported by its strong academic presence, various galleries, theaters, and museums. The city also maintains strong connections to its Māori heritage, with the local Ngāi Tahu iwi (tribe) having a significant cultural presence in the region. Dunedin's natural setting, nestled between hills and harbor, has influenced its urban development and cultural identity, creating a unique blend of natural and cultural heritage.
