Dead right.

In Dublin’s fair city…

Ireland’s capital city Dublin has been named as one of the 21 best cities in the world by National Geographic Traveler magazine.

The list is an annual selection of “must-see” destination for the year ahead, and Dublin has made a claim for one of the finest cities in the world.

Some of the specific attractions mentioned in the feature are the city’s “friendly, village vibe.” Readers are also encouraged to “stroll around to discover Dublin’s historic Georgian squares and cozy pubs and high-tech treasures, like the new Irish Emigration Museum and revamped National Gallery of Ireland.”

“I am delighted to see Dublin feature in the prestigious National Geographic Traveler ‘Best of the World’ list for 2018,” said Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland. “It is wonderful news and will surely help inspire travellers everywhere to put Dublin and Ireland on their holiday wish-list for next year. It provides Tourism Ireland with another great hook to continue to promote Dublin around the world as a ‘must see’ destination.”

Dublin will have a full-page feature in the upcoming print edition of the magazine, which has more than 9.6 million readers.
