The North Wicklow Town has been named 13th on a list compiled by Time Out Magazine.
Writer Stephen Emms notes in his article the seaside destination was once known as the "Brighton of Ireland".
"After years of decline, its mile-long Victorian seafront now buzzes with cafés and restaurants. Stroll from the harbour along the esplanade to the 800-foot-high Bray Head, worth the hour's climb for panoramic views from its rocky summit. Refuel at Butler & Barry on the beach, before a Guinness at ace local institution the Harbour Bar."
