I think Dublin is ugly. Do you agree?

Question

really no offense to Irish people, but I found Dublin gray, dull and ugly. Maybe I should visit other areas in Ireland?

Answer 1

Well its a city, cities are never full of greenery. I think as a city it is lovely.

Answer 2

Nowhere is ugly , if you have nice memories from .

Answer 3

yeah, it doesn't reallyl excite me.

Answer 4

Dublin isn't really Ireland, for all that it's the capital of the Republic. You should head west and south.

Answer 5

Not in the summer.

In the summer I would describe it as 'quaint'.

X All the best.

Answer 6

Absolutely!

Answer 7

If you're looking for scenery, Dublin isn't the best place to be visiting. Wicklow can be stunning. It isn't called the Garden of Ireland for nothing. :)

Answer 8

I rather like it.  In fact I make a point of going there first whenever I return to the Czech Republic.  It's a great place to stay for a day or two before getting myself totally immersed in European living and culture.

Answer 9

I agree

You'll find a lot of cities in Ireland are not too nice compared to continental cities.  Architecturally Ireland has suffered from the wars that were fought there. Not only were Belfast and Dublin bombed during world war II but the various conflicts between the IRA and the British have scarred the country forever.  You'll find it much more pretty if you get out of the big cities and into the smaller ones.  There are some beautiful villages too.

I also think the grey comes from the weather. It is usally raining and overcast....but this is beacsue we are the stuck way out at the western comfines of Europe and we take the brunt of the weather as it comes of the Atlantic....which helps give the rest of Europe its temperate climate...otherwise the climate would be somewhat like northern Canada.

If you want colour....visit this town:

Clonakilty, Co. Cork.
