Dublin
"If Dublin didnt ever exist, some mad, wonderful genius would have invented it!"
Dublin is as old as the hills that surround it, and as young as you want it to be. The nurturing place of James Joyce, Beckett, the Chieftains, U2 , Riverdance and more artists and writers than you could count. Its the capital city of the country with the youngest and best educated population in Europe. Few capital cities combine art, learning, culture, fringe and enterprise in such a small area. Part of Dublins charm is its friendly scale. You can walk across it in an hour, if you dont meet someone on the way!
Dublin is renowned for its pubs of course, but its the cafes, clubs and nightlife that make it a magnet for people who want something a bit more interesting to do with their time out. And youre never far from the sea or the countryside.
