Ballsbridge
1.6 miles from city centre
With its grand Victorian houses and leafy avenues, this is the heart of well-heeled Dublin. This is where you’ll find many diplomatic outposts, including the landmark US Embassy, a striking circular building with echoes of Celtic design. For echoes of the sporting kind, just down the road you’ll find Lansdowne Road, the home of Irish rugby.

Rathmines
1.9 miles from city centre
Dublin has a plethora of vibrant little village-style suburbs on the outskirts, with a splendid mix of redbrick Victorian and Edwardian mansions and terraces. The “Three Rs” – Rathmines, Rathgar and Ranelagh – are on the south side and rank among the best of them. The majestic Grand Canal flows through all three, less than 5km from the centre.

Temple Bar
0.4 miles from city centre
In the days before the Celtic Tiger economy, penniless artists lived in Temple Bar. Now this web of narrow streets, bang in the city centre, is a mix of art galleries, restaurants, pubs and music venues. Handel’s Messiah was first performed here in 1742. Cow’s Lane has a Saturday fashion and design market – there’s a surprise round every corner …
Places to stay from £12 per night
Drumcondra
1.1 miles from city centre
There’s a lot to see on these classic Dublin suburban streets – including the Gaelic games stadium, Croke Park, which towers over much of Drumcondra. Start at Fagan’s Pub, local haunt of former Taoiseach (Irish for “Prime Minister”), Bertie Ahern. It was here he brought US President, Bill Clinton, in September 1998. See the photo on the wall.
Places to stay from £38 per night
Saint Stephen's Green
0.7 miles from city centre
If shopping is your bag, start from St Stephen’s Green – and make elegant and affable Shelbourne Hotel your campaign headquarters. Grafton Street has all the luxury boutiques your wallet can bear. Dawson Street adds restaurants. And believe it or not, the Irish parliament, Trinity College and the National Gallery are all in the same square mile.
Places to stay from £53 per night
Parnell Square
0.3 miles from city centre
Cross the River Liffey to O’Connell Street, which runs all the way to Parnell Square. Here you’ll see monuments dedicated to two very different Dublins: the GPO, with its Greek-style porticos, is where Irish independence was won in 1916; while the 398-foot stainless steel Spire of Dublin was completed in 2003 as a salute to Ireland’s new prosperity.
Places to stay from £33 per night
Clontarf
2.8 miles from city centre
The first thing Dubliners will tell you about Clontarf is that it’s where Ireland’s last High King, Brian Boru, trounced the Vikings in 1014. The second thing they’ll tell you is that the only battle today is for desirable homes – preferably with views of Dublin Bay. It’s also the perfect setting for a walk in St Anne’s Park or Fairview Park.
Places to stay from £93 per night
Ireland's culture-rich capital offers endless things to do, with over 1,000 pubs and a multitude of must-see sights such as the beautiful old library and Book of Kells at Trinity College. With the centre being relatively small in size, the best of Dublin can be easily explored on foot. A visit to the Guinness Storehouse offers a fascinating insight into one of the city's most famous exports, with the on-site bar offering sweeping views over the skyline and plenty of opportunities to taste 'the black stuff'.
The charming cobbled streets are also sprinkled with a variety of museums, monuments and galleries such as the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin City Gallery and Dublin Castle. If you want to delve even deeper into the city's past, walking tours are held on most days and some are even free.
When evening falls, many flock to the lively area of Temple Bar which hosts a huge variety of traditional pubs and bars. However, it can get overcrowded with tourists at night-time so you may want to venture to another part of town such as Grafton Street for a more authentic Irish pub experience.
Dublin Airport is located about ten kilometres from the city centre, with an express bus service running between the two locations every 15 minutes.

Dublin is not the best city I have been to, but it has its charm. Irish people are just wonderful, kind and warm!! Dublin concerning prices is not the cheapest. Beer/wine or other alcoholic drinks are extremely expensive comparing to other EU countries with Euro prices. Weather is also not the greatest there, but we had luck and sun for 3 days with wind and rain :) Clothes are not expensive, normal prices and nice brands. Supermarket prices also not the lowest. Worth to see an old cemetery and archaeological musem (Free entrance). Worth for sure to go by train to Howth, if you like the nature you will be amazed. We did 12 km tour and it is memorable! So I do recomend Dublin, but do not expect too much.
Most striking for me is the combination of old and new.
15 March 2024
Most striking for me is the combination of old and new. Most of the buildings, in most parts of Dublin, are old, but well maintained and create a whole very nice view. But a few new buildings appeared, still in line with the old ones, which creates even nicer views. There are lot of places to visit, from all area of interest: historical, cultural, entertainment etc. These visits are easily accessible with the help of the multitude of punctual buses. Most people are friendly and the multitude of ethnics around creates an interesting experience. An very unpleasant aspect is that the streets are quite dirty, filled with litter and garbage and also a lot of beggars and homeless people.

Room was clean but looking out of the window it was dull a lot of piping wiring visible gave impression of neglect perhaps place a lot of plant visible garden effect would give since of nature to green trees border to property. The view gave a sense of neglect out of the way forgotten.

A visit to the Guinness Storehouse is a must to find out about the history, the brewing process and, especially if you enjoy drinking it. My favourite place to visit however was the Rock & Roll museum. Our tour guide Glenn was enthusiastic and informative. He and another tour member put on an impromptu gig for us, it was brilliant. There are so many places to eat and portion sizes very generous. We ate at 1900 Restaurant on Harcourt Street, Hard Rock Cafe, Harkins Bar & Bistro and a gem of a find was the Bleeding Horse pub. There was plenty of transport, either bus or trams to get around or most things were accessible by foot. We're looking forward to planning a return visit to take in all the things we missed 1st time round.
Definitely a nice city to be in for like 2 days, not more.

Definitely a nice city to be in for like 2 days, not more. The weather really made my experience less enjoyable, the food is very expensive, and there is not much to see. Other than that, I had an amazing time. It's not a city to travel solo in, so go with company! The culture and people are super nice and the pubs are so fun :)

A great city for those who love nightlife and a good pint of beer. The temple bar district is very nice, but also don't let to explore outside the town. Ireland has beautiful cliffs and landscapes to offer.
