Dublin city breaks

The charm of the Irish and a slice of ‘the Craic’, is part of what makes a Dublin city break special. The unique hospitality of its locals, combined with a dynamic energy and rich culture create a city of abundant charm.

Discover the endless delights of Dublin - sip a Guinness by the fireside in a cosy pub or warm up in one of Dublin’s many free museums. Visit historic Trinity College and the ancient Book of Kells, walking in the footsteps of the literary greats. Or shop to your heart’s content on Grafton Street. Book one of our carefully selected hotels with flights and save.

Temple Bar

If you’ve come to Dublin for ‘the Craic’ then head to Temple Bar. By day, this historic quarter with its cobbled streets offers laidback pavement cafés, fantastic outdoor markets for foodies and excellent shopping options for fashionistas. By night, Temple Bar is a buzzing hub of nightlife, where you can sup a pint of Guinness while enjoying live music at a traditional pub. Or step up the pace and groove to cutting-edge sounds at cool clubs such as Alchemy.

Ballsbridge

For sports fans, Ballsbridge is definitely the place to head to on Dublin city breaks. As well as offering a healthy selection of pubs and eateries, Ballsbridge boasts major events venues Aviva Stadium and RDS Arena. The Aviva Stadium sees the Six Nations and Heineken Cup rugby championship action take place on its turf, while RDS Arena is both the homestead of Leinster Rugby. Stay at the ideally-situated Ballsbridge Hotel.

St Stephen’s Green

Escape the hustle and bustle of central Dublin for glorious St Stephen’s Green. Possibly Ireland’s most famous park, this lush oasis offers an idyllic setting for leisurely strolls. Wander around the tree-lined pathways and take in flower beds overflowing with colour in spring and summer. Stop to admire the sculptures and to gaze at the waterfall cascading into the stunning ornamental lake. In summer, settle down with a picnic and enjoy a lunchtime concert. Stay at the nearby Burlington Hotel.
