Dublin rated one of the least sustainable cities to visit in Europe

Dublin has been rated as one of the worst cities in Europe to visit if you plan on having an eco-friendly stay.

As sustainability becomes more and more important against the backdrop of wild fires across Europe this summer, tourists are increasingly looking for green options for a guilt free holiday. Luggage storage app Bounce has rated Europe's city break destinations for their sustainability - and it is bad news for Dublin.

The survey took into account the number of eco-friendly hotels available, air pollution levels, green energy performance and carbon footprint, the percentage of people who use active travel or public transport and the number of Michelin green star restaurants to calculate each destination's 'sustainable city score'. Berlin was most sustainable followed by Stockholm and Zurich.
