Dublin’s south side is an increasingly good place to be as a creative, with a tight-knit design community that is incredibly welcoming. The streets are in a constant state of flux, with new restaurants and shops joining the classic historic charm that the city is steeped in. There’s nothing better than spending a Sunday wandering around the myriad of book stores before retiring to a cosy pub for the evening.

Repurposed Chinese restaurant that now almost exclusively serves delicious chicken of many varieties
IMMA is the best place in Ireland to experience contemporary art. Housed in the old 17th century Royal Hospital, the building is drenched in history. With beautiful sprawling grounds, amazing, carefully kept gardens and numerous sculptures there is a lot to see before you even make it inside. The exhibitions are always carefully curated and thought-provoking and it is easy to lose a whole day to the various spaces. A great bookshop and cafe round out the museum’s arsenal. Quite literally, one of the best places in the country.
