With so many exciting things to see and do, Ireland’s buzzing capital has become a tourist hotspot. Sights here are aplenty with amazing museums like Kilmainham Gaol, which was once a prison, and Ireland’s oldest university, Trinity College, home to the famous Book of Kells. A trip to Dublin isn’t complete without sampling the local tipples! Beer drinkers should head to the Guiness Storehouse, a seven-storey museum where you taste the Guiness. Or, if you prefer something stronger, don’t miss Jameson Distillery where you can learn all about how whiskey is made and take part in whiskey tastings. The capital also has a lively nightlife, with many flocking to the famous Temple Bar when the sun goes down. Although you’ll find countless Irish pubs scattered across the city where you can enjoy the amazing Irish hospitality and live music.
Dublin is a great base for exploring the surrounding region too. The charming village of Howth is a popular spot, located around 30 minutes from the capital. The Howth Cliff Walk is its main attraction, with hiking trails where you can soak up stunning coastal views. It’s the perfect place to escape the buzz of the city! We’d also recommend a trip to Wicklow, also known as the ‘Garden of Ireland’. Here you’ll find the Wicklow Mountains National Park. It’s another place that’s perfect for outdoor adventurers with incredible landscapes comprising of lakes, mountains and forests. If you don’t mind travelling further, there are also famous attractions such as the spectacular Cliffs of Moher that are easily doable on a day trip from Dublin.
