Flights to Dublin are often cheaper during winter, as long as you plan to travel outside of the festive period when the Christmas markets arrive, and New Year’s Eve celebrations take place. You can expect prices to rise in March during St Patrick’s Day celebrations. The best way to search for a saving is to use our low fare finder.

If you want to explore Dublin in the sunshine, the best time to visit is during the summer. Make the most of the warm weather by picnicking in the parks, enjoying the outdoor festivals and kayaking along the Liffey, the river that runs through the city. March is also a good time to visit if you want to experience Ireland’s most famous holiday, St Patrick’s Day. Festivities include a parade, street theatre and walking tours, and take place over several days.

Visit outside of the busier times of year and you can save on costs. You’ll find accommodation options at a range of prices throughout the city, and you could choose to stay further out and use public transport to tick off the sights on your to-do list. Dublin is easy to explore on foot, so you can get your steps in, and it won’t cost you anything. Plus, lots of museums and attractions are free to visit, from the National Botanical Gardens to the National Museum of Ireland.

You can jump in a cab or take a bus from Dublin Airport to the city. A return bus ticket is the cheapest option, and both methods take at least 30 minutes.
