The Octagon Square is located at the junction of Prince Street and George Street. It is a more lively area in Dunedin. Since 1846, the Octagon Square has been the city center of Dunedin. Around the Octagon, there are the Gothic St. Paul's Church, the City Council Hall, the Tourist Service Center, green spaces and several main avenues leading in all directions. It is also the commercial centre of Dunedin, with numerous shops and large shopping plazas lining the area. Strolling through the square, you can order lunch at the restaurants along the street, or browse the shops here, and experience the modern business atmosphere in this city full of Scottish architecture. If it comes to local holidays or folk celebrations, you will also see local people wearing plaid skirts and playing bagpipes through the streets to celebrate.
