Ireland has been honoured in TripAdvisor’s newly announced Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards 2026, with three Dublin attractions recognised among Europe’s top experiences and attractions. The awards, which highlight the world’s most‑loved travel experiences based on millions of traveller reviews, place Ireland firmly among Europe’s standout cultural destinations.
The Irish winners for 2026 are:
- The Little Museum of Dublin – Celebrated for its intimate, story‑driven approach to the city’s history, delivered with charm, humour and a strong sense of place.
- Kilmainham Gaol Museum – Recognised for its powerful interpretation of Ireland’s past and its consistently exceptional visitor experience, making it one of the most compelling heritage sites in Europe.

TripAdvisor’s Best of the Best accolades represent the highest level of recognition on the platform. It’s awarded to attractions and experiences who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.
