Posh Dublin

By Linda Tancs

Founded as a Viking settlement, Dalkey is a posh suburb of Dublin, Ireland. As such, it’s no surprise that famous locals like Bono call it home. For those who can’t afford the fancy address, it also offers one of Dublin’s best walks as one of its most scenic coastal suburbs. One of the trails weaves through the village down to the coast, following the shoreline on Vico Road until you reach the top of Killiney Hill. The view at the top of the hill reminded 19th-century Dubliners of the Bay of Naples, which is why so many of the roads around there have Italian names.
