You see Baldwin Street from the bottom and think ... why??!!! But it's fun and I'm sure the locals get a kick out of being in such a unique location. There's enough parking on the streets below and a few local traders trying to make a quick buck. We were fortunate that it was relatively quiet but as we were departing there were a couple tour buses arriving so the crowds tripled in size rather quickly. The walk up can be done either via the road itself but watch out for local traffic as this is a normal street. A less taxing and easier climb is via the right hand side pedestrian pathway of the street via steps. Incredibly we watched a cyclist ride up the street. No doubt his ride down was a lot easier and faster. Note: It is steep in parts particularly near the top so watch your balance as it is a long way down on hard concrete should you tumble. We did see some people almost lose their balance trying to take selfies.

Pulled into Baldwin Street and it was raining. I didn't drive there just to look. Walked up and back down, rain didn't stop, Pictures do not do justice to just how steep this street is, Well worth the walk, definitely gets the heart pumping hard

Coming from the past its a good place to visit when in the area of Dunedin. If you have your own transport drive along the way to Baldwin Street. Pay attention to the street signs and there is some historical information at the foot of the street. There is also a cafe a street along if you wish, otherwise there are t/a and other cafes near by to try out in the morning. Lots of people around including tours, and the street is actually steeper than it looks getting further in degree as you walk your way up across/on/along the street! Good view point and generally good fun challenge walking up to get your photo. Certainly rivals those of SF USA and Hba TAS and parts of Europe in terms of steepness. Worth a look if you have transport.

We had heard about the Worlds Steepest Street and decided to visit. Its quite popular as people were coming and going during our visit. We parked at the bottom of the street and even manged to walk to the top. Part way up there is a seating area for those who want to rest part way up. We met other travellers who enjoyed chatting to. We did see a few vehicles struggling and spinning as they reached the top. The views here are fantastic.

Drove to Baldwin Street and parked along the road adjacent. It’s also possible to take local city transit here. The street is deceiving as views from the bottom don’t look that impressive. Very gentle slope for the first bit then becomes very steep, very fast. There’s no traffic on Baldwin Street so you can walk up the middle or the sidewalk on both sides. The right side going up has steps for much of the climb which makes it easier on the knees. It’s like a party atmosphere here! I think most people made it to the top and it was nowhere near as difficult as I thought it would be. Beautiful views from the top and nice to chat with the other walkers. Fun activity!

I had an odd feeling I had ben on steeper streets but I drove up it, had dicciulty turning around and down it. It was steep witha 35% gradient in places but down the bottom it looked like any other small hill side street. But Dunedin needs some claim to fame and this is it. Worth a visit.
