Ireland's capital casts a spell with medieval neighbourhoods, sprawling boulevards and the most dynamic pub scene this side of London.
1,000 Years and Counting
Dublin wasn't born just yesterday. Perched along a misty bay, this Irish icon has more than 1,000 years of history behind its storied sights. Though the city has been largely modernised over the last several decades, vacation packages to Dublin still carry the weight of castles and kingdoms, Vikings and Tudors, and a literary tradition that sparkles at its core.
The Soul of Modern Ireland
Despite the city's rich and often tumultuous past, modern vacation packages to Dublin Ireland carry a vibrant sheen that's nearly impossible to replicate. The local personality is equal parts cosmopolitan and bawdy, and a trend-setting vibe permeates everything from the commercial streets to the creative enclaves. Dubliners, after all, are fiercely proud of their past, and they carry that pride well into a cool, modern future.
Rain, Shine and Everything in Between
Pack your umbrella. Though Dublin holidays are marred by far less rain than many assume, the climate here does trend toward the overcast. It's remarkably mild, however, and even the winters don't bring piles of snow and sleet. Travel during those cooler months for the best deals and cheap discounts; the chilly weather is all the better for cosying up by the fire in your hotels in Dublin.
Top Things to See and Do
Of course, if the weather is delightful, the activities in Dublin stay focused on the outdoors. Get your bearings at the Spire of Dublin — you'll be able to spot it for miles — and then head toward regal Dame Street and its Christ Church Cathedral. From there, you can pour a pint at the Guinness Storehouse, sneak a peek at the Old Jameson Distillery or wander west for a look at the 18th-century Kilmainham Gaol. The Dublin Zoo is ideal for families, and the vast Phoenix Park isn't to be missed, but rent a car in Dublin to hit the Howth cliff walk if you're really craving a grassy retreat.
