Dublin Makes National Geographic Traveler’s Annual ‘Best of the World’ List

National Geographic Traveler magazine has revealed its ‘Best of the World’ list for 2018, which showcases 21 ‘must-see’ destinations to visit in the year ahead – and Dublin is among the magazine’s top picks for best cities.

The selection process included nominations from the publication’s worldwide network of writers, editors and explorers.

Dublin is described as “Ireland’s intimate capital” which “exudes a friendly, village vibe” and the magazine urges readers 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”.

Tourism Ireland intends to take every opportunity to maximise this accolade for Dublin over the coming weeks and months.

“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.”
