Arrive at 10:30 am, depart at 6 pm – Ireland’s second city is first in every important respect – at least according to the locals, who cheerfully refer to it as the ‘real capital of Ireland’. This liberal, youthful and cosmopolitan city was badly hit by economic recession but is now busily reinventing itself with spruced-up streets, revitalized stretches of waterfront, and an artisan coffee bar on almost every corner. Still happily steeped in tradition, it’s easy to find snug pubs with live-music sessions, restaurants dishing up top-quality local produce and a genuinely proud welcome from the locals.
