There are plenty of picture-perfect spots in New Zealand, but none quite as Instagram-worthy as Baldwin Street in Dunedin, also known as the steepest street in the world.
The street is only 350 meters long, but for every 2.86 horizontal meters, there is a rise of one meter. In other words, though the street itself is less than a quarter mile long, for every ~9 horizontal feet you walk, you're climbing about three feet.
Photos of the street are mind bending, especially when you look at the houses that are built right into the hill. Naturally, it's lead to some compelling Instagram images.

The street had to be paved with concrete instead of asphalt because the tar in the asphalt would melt and slide down the incline during hot summers.

The angle of the street is incredible. When the streets were mapped out, the planner did not consider the terrain — at all.
