With roots in the past and an eye to the future, there are few cities more exciting than Dublin to visit at the moment.<\/h3>\n

The Irish capital has so much to do and some seriously spectacular food to try. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Christine Orford, a proud Dubliner, takes us on a tour of her favourite corners of the Fair City…<\/h4>\n

When the sun is shining in Dublin, get out and enjoy it. Head to the Great South Wall and you\u2019ll pass the Poolbeg Stacks, the unofficial icons of the city. Then walk the 3km path jutting out into the middle of Dublin Bay and enjoy incredible panoramic views from Howth to Killiney. This is definitely one of the most Instagrammable walks in the city!<\/p>\n

Artists in residence<\/h4>\n

Of course, good weather is never guaranteed in Ireland. If it does start to pour, duck in to one of Dublin\u2019s incredible museums or galleries.<\/p>\n

One of the city\u2019s lesser-known gems is the Royal Hibernian Academy Gallery<\/a> just off Stephen\u2019s Green. It has five galleries full of curated exhibitions, including everything from bold sculptures to delicate paintings.<\/p>\n

And for an even more relaxing appreciation of the arts, head to The Merrion for an afternoon tea<\/a> inspired by the famous Irish masterpieces.<\/p>\n
