Dublin

The capital of the Republic of Ireland, Dublin (or Baile Átha Cliath, as it is called in Irish), is a must-visit destination in Europe.

With its special vibe and the wide variety of things to do, Dublin is certainly on our list of favorite cities!

Located on the east coast of Ireland, the city has a large international airport. The good international connections means that it is easy and convenient to visit the city for a short break or use Dublin as a springboard to visit the rest of Ireland.

Secret Spots in Dublin

We particularly love the diversity of Irish culture, literature and history that Dublin has to offer (Did you know that it is a UNESCO City of Literature?).  Whether you just want to culturally immerse yourself in the city, get lost in its intricate history or just enjoy yourself by sauntering through Grafton Street or the many parks, we’re sure that you will really enjoy your stay.

Dublin city centre boasts many top class attractions and things to do. From the important historical attractions of the Book of Kells in Trinity College Dublin, Kilmainham Gaol and Dublin Castle to the more modern (and very popular) attractions of the Guinness Storehouse, Irish Whiskey Museum and the Little Museum, you are sure to find something to suit your itinerary.

The best things to do in Dublin

Don’t forget to visit a few pubs to hear some great live music. In our 3-day itinerary post about Dublin, we give you tips about what pubs to see outside of the very busy Temple Bar area. 

Dublin is also home to some of the most stunning museums (many of them free of charge!), such as the National Museum of Ireland, and has an internationally renowned food scene. The Chester Beatty Library, with its frequently changing exhibitions, is also a personal favorite of ours.

Unusual Sights in Dublin

There are a lot of great day trips that you can do from Dublin. Some of the more popular ones include tours to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, visiting Glendalough in Wicklow National Park, heading to the Giant’s Causeway and the Dark Hedges (from Game of Thrones) in Northern Ireland.

As a progressive, international city, there is a great range of hotels including many luxury, mid-range and budget options.
