14 reasons why Dublin is the ugliest place in the world

So Dublin has been named one of the most Instagrammable places in the world for 2021.

Big 7 Travel ranked the capital as the 35th most Instagram-worthy destination in the world ahead of the likes of Warsaw and Lisbon.

And we just don't get it?

I mean, who looks at the Ha'penny Bridge and says, 'Wow, I need to take a picture of that'

There's no natural beauty in Dublin

It's just a big, ugly concrete jungle

Do yourself a favour and don't ever visit the city centre

Or the Custom House because that is hands down the ugliest building we've seen

And have you seen this monstrosity?

And despite all this, Big 7 Travel has heaped praises on the capital saying: "Ireland’s picturesque capital belongs on everyone’s bucket list. Its plethora of medieval history, charming pubs, street art and lively culture are just a few things that make it an Instagrammer’s dream.

"Wander the halls of the world’s most epic library, aka, The Library of Trinity College and bring your #bookworm aesthetic full circle. And then clink a few pints of Guinness in the uber photogenic Temple Bar area.

"Either way, you’re set for some great shots to join in the 12.4 million others on Instagram under the #dublin hashtag."
