DK Travel : Dublin

One of the most popular capitals in Europe, Dublin is a city steeped in history. Huddled together within a small vicinity you’ll find Viking remains, medieval cathedrals and churches, Georgian squares and excellent museums. But it’s not just about buildings – music, theatre, literature and pubs play just as strong a part in Dublin’s atmosphere. These highlights are the must-sees for any visitor who wants to truly capture the variety and vibrancy of the city.

Adare Manor Hotel

Aherne’s Seafood Restaurant and Bar

This popular, relaxed restaurant, serving delicious fresh seafood dishes, brings people from miles around.

Albany House

This 18th-century house was once owned by the Earl of Clonmel, but is now privately run as a comfortable hotel, cleverly blending period furnishings with modern amenities.
All-Ireland Football Final

Gaelic football is a mixture of soccer and rugby, though predating both games. The pace is similar to football, but allows the carrying of the ball, for a short distance, and adds goal posts to avoid those 0-0 draws.
All-Ireland Hurling Final

Europe’s oldest field sport uses a hockey-style stick partly to throw a ball down the pitch, but mostly to smack opposing players. The fastest field sport around, expect lots of excitement and a bit of blood.
