Dublin - the birthplace of Oscar Wilde and the home of Guinness - landed first place, proving it has much to offer with its buzzing streets filled with buskers and bakeries, unique art galleries and historic buildings. And don't miss the Guinness Storehouse, Ireland's most visited attraction, where you can see your own face cleverly printed on top of a freshly poured pint of Irish dry stout.
Cork is the second largest city in the Republic and the second on the list of most popular places. It is known for having a ‘town-like’ feel and plenty of character, with a handful of art galleries, coffee shops on every corner and the Cork City Gaol.

In third place on the list is Galway, Ireland’s ‘bohemian’ city.
Galway is a tempting seaside destination with sandy beaches, an exceptional music scene and plenty of authentic food and drink to try. The city also brings in excited crowds for the Galway International Arts Festival and the craic of Galway Races every year.
The popularity of each city location was measured by a unique index score based on figures from Google insights, Tripadvisor, Instagram and TikTok.
Researchers looked at the number of hashtags each location has racked up on Instagram and TikTok, as well as Trip Advisor rankings based on five-star attractions - with the lower the overall index score the higher the ranking.
