Dublin, dynamic capital of Ireland, is bursting with energy. Famed for Guinness and celebrated writers such as Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce and Samuel Becket to name but a few.  

The city centre is crammed with restaurants, bars and shops. Shopaholics will find their fix on Grafton Street and Henry Street; gourmands will take delight in the city’s diverse array of restaurants, from fabulous pub grub to Asian fusion and modern contemporary; and night revelers will find live music bars, clubs and theaters in abundance.

For those seeking tranquility, Dublin’s scenic gardens and parks and day trips out of town guarantee to restore and relax. Take a stroll out along the South Wall pier in Ringsend for a magnificent view of Dublin Bay and the Sugarloaf Mountain; or lose yourself in Dublin’s Phoenix Park, Europe’s largest - and one of its finest - enclosed parkland areas.
With a passion for music, laughter and conversation, Dubliners' contagious zest for life captures the heart of visitors, short- and long-term alike.
