Dublin
With buildings dating back to the 11th century, the
capital of the Republic of Ireland has long been the nexus
of life in the country. Amongst the cathedrals, castles,
pubs and other traditional trappings is a flourishing
contemporary culture—the key is just knowing where
to look.
For example: art. The Irish Museum of Modern Art is
on the forefront of the contemporary, leading the charge
to inspire the minds of today with over 3,500 pieces
of revolutionary vision in a space designed to foster
participation with the thousands of visitors. Scores of
galleries have followed suite, with spaces like the Kerlin

Gallery and the Molesworth Gallery showcasing the
cutting edge of modern Irish artistic talent.
Beyond the palette and onto the palate, Dublin’s
culinary scene has entered a modern renaissance. Now
commonly described as a leading culinary destination
within Europe, Dublin’s focus on fresh, farm-to-table
ingredients and creative reimaginings of time-tested
staples translates to meals that far surpass the traditional
beef stew and potatoes you may be expecting. Whether it’s
the shockingly sumptuous seafood of the Michelin-starred
Chapter One, or the caramelized brown-bread ice cream of
Murphy’s, your taste buds will delight in the modern day.
