From live music nights at much-loved bar Clarks to moments of inspiration in the Botanic Gardens, Be Charlotte shares her favourite things about Dundee. A hardworking, passionate and creative city. We wear our heart on our sleeve here and aren’t afraid to speak up for what we believe in.
I moved away from Dundee for a few years to live in Glasgow and then Berlin but I never quite felt at home anywhere else. It took being away from Scotland and Dundee in particular, to realise there’s no place else I’d like to be (which is cheesy I know but true). I’d recommend staying in the city for a night or two and also exploring some other areas nearby.
beach is one of the best ever. People might not think of Dundee as a beach holiday destination but here and if the weather’s right you can feel like you’re in Costa Del Sol! I haven’t stayed in that many hotels here but did get the chance to stay at the when as I didn’t live in Scotland at the time. It’s a lovely hotel and definitely recommended if you’re looking for a bit of a boujee option.
And as a musician I’ve stayed in many a Travelodge and Premier Inn over the years – we have those here too and a good option if looking for something super central! I guess some of the most memorable nights out are the hardest to remember! I did the whole clubbing thing when I was younger and had many a fun night but these days I prefer a much more chilled vibe. Good tunes and good atmosphere is top of my list. One of my favou.
