The Irish capital city of Dublin has been named the best city in the world in 2026 for solo tourists.
Why is Dublin perfect for solo tourists?
According to the latest Travelers’ Choice Awards from the TripAdvisor platform, this city, with its rich historical architecture and countless literary legends, combines the atmosphere of the old world with a friendly and simple charm.
It is also noted that the city is very walkable, so you can do a lot in a day.
“We suggest starting with a few well-known landmarks: marvel at the exquisite details of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, explore the’ heart of the city ‘ at Dublin Castle, and explore the sprawling campus of Trinity College. There are many museums (many of them, such as the Chester Beatty Museum, are free), and the food is truly to taste and wallet: you can try a tasting menu in one of the city’s 43 Michelin-starred restaurants, or go to a pub and enjoy the best fish and chips in your life,” the authors of the article note.
At the same time, Dublin is an ideal starting point for many day trips – for example, to the fishing village of Howth.
