The best things to see, do, and eat in Ireland’s storied capital.
Growing up in Dublin, I took the city for granted. When I returned after years of living abroad, however, I discovered a new appreciation for my hometown.

It’s creative, with music, art, and culinary scenes that continually push boundaries. It’s hedonistic, with a globally unrivalled pub culture.
