Overall Rating
Good
I stopped at Dundee City Square for a breather and enjoyed the view - but not much else. There's plenty of space to keep distance between other people, there are a couple of water fountains, the Desperate Dan statue just outside the square. It's a nice spot to take a coffee or sandwich, but watch out for Dundee's famous seagulls who will steal your food without hesitation, and sometimes aggressively!
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Dundee's city square is entirely flat and accessed via a pedestrianised high street. The square sits opposite the Desperate Dan statue - a great photo opportunity for visitors - and is surrounded by buildings on three sides, including the local icon Caird Hall at the rear. There are steps up to Caird Hall as well as a good sized ramp. There are benches around the square with some water fountains too.
Parking & Transport
Average
The only parking at City Square is nearby off-street parking. There is a multi storey car park with good disabled parking bays at Overgate Shopping Centre, which is just a short walk / ride from the city square.
Accessible Toilets
Poor
No public toilets are near the city square, but there are excellent facilities at the nearby Overgate Shopping Centre.
