Ranking at number 50, we came just behind Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. Small but mighty, Dublin "packs a lot into its city and is a great place to spend a weekend".

We may have made the list by the skin of our teeth but you can't argue with the facts.
Asia claimed a whopping 43 out of the top 100 most visited cities of last year, making it one of the top contenders when it comes to global tourism.
The top 10 featured a mix of European cities alongside a mainly Asian list, with Europe classed as the second fastest-growing regional destination after Asia.
Istanbul came in as the 10th most visited city. Hailed for its pretty cafes, great food and rich history. Kuala Lumpur came next at number nine, while NYC, Dubai, Paris and Singapore completed the top five.
And top of the '50 most visited cities' list?
Drum roll, please...
Hong Kong took the gold as the most visited city of 2019. A major shopping destination - it's famous for its booming night market and bespoke tailors, amongst other things.
