Amid the state-of-the-art urban architecture, upscale apartments and power-lunching city workers, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is a vibrant district, alive with art galleries representing work by emerging and established artists from around the world, and some of Dubai's hottest “see-and-be-seen” dining spots. The financial hub is also home to some of the city’s most sophisticated five-star hotels and chic residential towers, all connected with walkways dotted with public art and a smattering of high-end boutiques. Whether you visit for a morning coffee or a late night out, the urban vibe attracts Dubai’s tastemakers, and even mid-week, there’s bound to be a buzz in the evening with city workers unwinding after work and galleries throwing open their doors for launches.
