Our capital is now one of the world’s top ten cities to visit in 2016, as indicated by Lonely Planet.
The site describes Dublin as a location that “pulsates with youthful vibrancy”.
The array of events planned for the commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising were listed as some of the reasons to visit the capital next year.
The site added:
“Over 40% of the population is estimated to be under 30 and the place pulsates with youthful vibrancy, optimism and creativity,”
“No longer a dirty auld town, Dublin has a healthy hue, with people embracing its inner green spaces and exploring the wild outdoor arenas along the coast and beyond the pale.”
