Dublin named Europe's ninth most cultural city in new survey

Dublin has been ranked ninth on a list of Europe’s top cultural hotspots.

The survey was conducted by luggage store network Bounce. The rankings themselves are based on the variety of cultural institutions available within an individual city, such as museums, galleries, music venues, and theatres.

Dublin secured a place within the top ten, narrowly beating out Rome for a place on the list. Additionally, it scored fifth place on a separate list from Bounce on the best European cities for music venues.
