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.

  • Situated in one of the prettiest villages in the country, this 18th-century manor house is now a 5-star luxury hotel. Once the seat of the Earls of Dunraven, it is now American-owned. Good service is guaranteed.

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

  • This family-run pub is also a hotel and restaurant. The sitting room has an open fire and lots of books. The rooms are decorated with antiques, and some have balconies.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
