Dunedin Railway Station is considered to be NZ's most photographed heritage building. Opened in 1906, the fabulous Flemish Renaissance-style design resulted in architect George Alexander Troup being awarded a knighthood.
Features include mosaic floors, stained glass windows with images of locomotives, Oamaru stone facings, magnificent gardens and the country's largest train platform.
Located in Anzac Square in the central city, the station is also home to the NZ Sports Hall of Fame and Otago Farmers' Market, while sightseeing tours on the Taieri Gorge Railway depart here daily.
