Don't forget Celbridge!

Never been but I'd imagine it's cut from the same cloth.

It's all subjective really and each to their own. Some people are looking for places with a good nightlife. Some are looking for somewhere with a lot of culture. Some are looking for somewhere that isn't about the city but the scenery/ beaches etc. It's all down to what you're looking for really.

Have to agree with you on Howth. Yot get off the Dart there and what is there to do and see? There's that pub, the Bloody Stream for a pint, look at a few effing trawlers and then get fish and chips only to have a seagull mug you for .

Jesus Christ. Get your fat arse up the coastal walks you chump.

All this thread shows me is that a lot of tourists do not bother to research the places they visit before they go.

What I've found is that I tend to like places over a longer time spell. Some places you go to and they don't leave such an impression but if you spend more time you'll get a lot more out of them.

This is so true
I lived in a country with non existent tourism, I couldn't even recommend it for more then 2 days to anyone! But I loved living in that country! It's not for holidays though.
I spent a lot of time in Finland also, really boring holiday if you're going for a week or so, unless it's to see Santa! But if you spend a decent amount of time there, it is such a lovely country.

Depends what you want from a place too, some study before you go anywhere is clearly a good idea!

Edit, on topic, the most boring place I ever was, was Frankfurt. Sorry Germany, everywhere else I have been has been great. Frankfurt was soooooo boring.

Pisa: Was based there for a trip, boring as.... Even the tower is underwhelming
Bratislava: Spent 2 days there then boat to Vienna as close together, ok but no more than 1 night and 2 days there. You can walk the city in under a day
Northern Sardinia: Bar the really rich town the other ones look like they have been to war
Rejkavik: Iceland is class but the capital is so boring and expensive.
Malmö: Explained on here a few times
Cancun: Very overrated
Roscommon: Not a thing to see or do

Researching a place before you visit a place = boring

Brussels. I'd rather have a bath with me parents than visit that spot again.

I literally nearly spat my tea out.

I like Brussels. Seems like it would have a good vibe. I went there in the summer for the weekend and enjoyed it. By all accounts it is dead at the moment.

Casablanca comes to mind. Faded grandeur. Lots of better places in Morocco though it is a few years since I went there.

Yeh, Castleblaney is a bit of a let down.

Anywhere in the mid West of the USA.
Same with outback Australia.
All you can do is drink cans and shoot guns

Milton Keynes. Spent 2 weeks there many years ago. Pubs opened on alternative nights with only local karaoke. Nothing to do otherwise.

Here in Ireland most of the Midlands counties and towns are pretty forgettable. Not much going on and the scenery isn't much either. So probably unfair to pick out one. I suppose on coastal counties I find Galway quite boring, well with the exception of Conamarra and the Islands. I find the city a bit boring too. Its over rated alright but I suspect anyone who spend time in college there harper back to their youth or Celtic tiger race week.

What were you expecting to find in the middle of the outback in Aus? Nightclubs and casinos?

saabsaab · 10-04-2021 06:55PM

Castlebar and New Ross both seemed dead.

No.
The tread is most boring places.
For such a world renowned place it is surely up there.

Middlesbrough. An utter sh*thole.

Are you meaning Uluru?

Or just the other 2.5 million square miles of nothing?

Charleroi in Belgium.

I agree with what you said except the city bit but each to their own. Most people would find Galway City fun and always having something interesting on.

Houston looks like a city designed in SimCity.

Holyhead without a shadow of a doubt!

Yes been there a few times and had hours to kill thanks ti delayed ferries.
Woeful kip, highlight was the small Sainsbury’s and McDonalds!! Had the car that time. Another as a foot passenger eventually found some odd Asian type place to eat, was ok

A job sent me to Indianapolis for a couple of weeks a few years ago, good lord, instantly forgettable.

Great thread!

Rotterdam in the winter is the answer. Misery.

Leeds on a Sunday evening is up there too.

Ah I really like Leeds- the city centre is really nice, great shopping and generally good vibe. Nice hotels too
