Description
Dublin vacations are designed to delight
Let’s begin by taking a closer look at some of the best things to see and do in Dublin. Any Ireland vacation is incomplete without a tour of the Guinness Storehouse. You can learn more about over 250 years of brewing history on this site and the magic behind this unique and hugely popular drink. If you’re more of a whiskey fan, the Jameson Distillery Experience on Bow St. has five different packages to enjoy, including a premium tasting session and a whiskey cocktail-making class.
Many visitors enjoying their Dublin vacations flock to the Temple Bar area to enjoy a night out. While it’s a popular tourist spot, if you want a more local experience, we’d suggest Camden Street instead for a pint or two of the ‘Black Stuff’.
If you’re looking to do some shopping during your trip to Ireland, Drury Street and Wicklow Street are two of Dublin’s finest. Here, you’ll find fewer big chain stores and more independent places with character and charm.
To appreciate more of the country’s history, you should visit EPIC - The Irish Emigration Museum and the Irish Rock ‘N’ Roll Museum Experience.
It’s time to take a road trip
Ireland vacation deals needn’t be all about the city. There are many special places close to Dublin where you can enjoy a day out and see more of what this incredible country offers.
Along the northern edge of Dublin Bay lies Bull Island, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve home to a huge variety of wonderful wildlife, including birds, butterflies and seals. The seaside resort of Dalkey is another place worth adding to your itinerary. It’s a wealthy place with great sea views and its own 14th-century castle to explore.
Hiring a car and driving to Glendalough is worth it for the Monastic City, with its buildings dating back hundreds of years. It’s also an area of immense natural beauty. The scenery at Glendalough Upper Lake, in particular, is a must-see, and you’ll get many jaw-dropping photographs from here.
One of the many fantastic things about trips to Ireland is the sheer variety of things to see and do. From high-octane city life in Dublin to the gorgeous green countryside just a short distance away, you can discover your own version of Ireland to fall in love with.
