Airbnb has revolutionised how people travel around the world, and while it’s very easy to focus on some of the stunning locations that exist beyond these 32 counties, Ireland remains an incredibly popular destination for tourists that want to see our breathtaking scenery and experience our unique culture.
Ireland’s appeal is reflected in the latest study by Airbnb because the company has just revealed the most popular neighbourhoods around the world for its users to visit and the area around the Phoenix Park, Dublin ranks as one of them.
Phoenix Park has frequently proven itself to be a popular location for tourists and Dubliners alike with Áras an Uachtaráin, Dublin Zoo, the Papal cross and the People’s Gardens all proving to be a draw.
