Dublin, Ireland

Dublin is that rare type of city which offers a heady blend of excitement and natural charm with a truly gregarious personality.

Renowned for its flair and joie de vivre, Dublin is the perfect location for a short break to recharge the batteries and soothe the soul.

With famous sons including James Joyce, Arthur Guinness, Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and W.B Yeats, the city boasts an impressive cultural heritage, stories of which are told through its many lanes and quaint cobbled streets.

Superb golf courses, richly descriptive tours and museums, friendly overflowing bars, and intimate theatre productions all combine to create a sense of wonder in which it is impossible not to be entangled.

Budding authors, book worms, and scholarly travellers can enjoy the city’s literary side by touring the Dublin Writer’s Museum, paying a visit to George Bernard Shaw’s birthplace, or popping into the James Joyce Museum.

For those in search of a historical experience, visit the beautiful Dublin Castle with its mesmerising gardens and imposing towers or take a trip to the elegant Christ Church, Dublin’s oldest building.

No description of Dublin would be complete without mentioning its energetic and spirited nightlife. The city serves up a delicious variety of entertainment from stylish wine bars and cosmopolitan cafés to cosy pubs and heaving live music venues. You’ll find a night out to suit every taste, and no matter where you go you’ll find laughter, Guinness and good conversation in very healthy doses.
