Dublin

The capital of the emerald island, cozy pubs, the Irish music, the beautiful parks and the architectural heritages.

Any tourist publication or ad on Ireland will reiterate ad nauseam how friendly and welcoming its people are, but the fact is, it's true. Ask a Dubliner directions and ten to one you'll end up being taken there. Ask someone to recommend a good local brew and you'll probably end up under the table a few hours later the best of friends.
