Holiday rentals in Dublin

Journey into Dublin

Most visitors to Ireland’s largest city arrive via the Dublin Airport, which is located on the outskirts of town. However, it is easy to reach the city centre from the airport, either by public transport, coach, or by rental car. There are many bus options that will take you from the airport into the city including cheap public buses or airport coaches. You also have the option of renting a car and simply heading into Dublin via the M50. No matter what you choose, arriving at your Dublin holiday home should be relatively hassle-free.

Dublin and its cuisine

Don't miss Ireland’s delicious meat-and-potato-style traditional cuisine, which is available throughout the city. There is a range of traditional restaurants throughout the inner city, from fine establishments, to classic eateries, to the ever-popular takeaway. If you want to experience something more than Irish cuisine, Dublin’s multicultural population means there is everything from Thai to Moroccan to Japanese.

Choose from the array of Dublin holiday rentals and no matter which neighborhood you decide to call home, there will likely be some attractive restaurant options nearby. And if you'd prefer not to eat out every night, with a Dublin holiday rental you'll have the option to cook and enjoy an evening at home.

Dublin and its sights

When visiting Dublin, be ready to dive into its incredible history. There are several wonderful museums featuring local history and culture, like Kilmainham Gaol, a former prison which tells of Ireland’s interesting past, and the National Museum of Ireland, with its fascinating archaeology branch. Also remember to visit the immersive experience at the Guinness Storehouse, a brewery presentation of Ireland’s most famous beer, which includes tastings and a rooftop bar.

If history is not your thing, visit the green, sprawling Phoenix Park which is home to the Dublin Zoo, or even the beautiful National Botanic Gardens, the inner city’s link to nature. No matter what kind of sights you choose to visit, thanks to the plethora of Dublin holiday homes, your front door likely won't be too far away.

Art and theatre in Ireland's capital

Dublin is Ireland’s hub of art and culture and has a variety of outstanding galleries and theatres, with at least a few venues likely not to far from your Dublin holiday rental's front door. Check out the National Gallery of Ireland, which features historical to contemporary work, or the famed Rubicon Gallery, which features numerous contemporary works from its roster of artists.

Remember to also visit the range of theatres throughout the city, including the National Theatre of Ireland, also known as Abbey Theatre, as well as the Gaiety Theatre and the Olympia Theatre, which feature musical works and performance art.

Going out to experience Dublin’s thriving nightlife

The city of Dublin is famous for its nightlife, from its fantastic pub-to-person ratio to its many clubs and venues. On the Southside of the city centre, there is a selection of traditional pubs and bars which will likely feature a range of musical venues to visit and enjoy. The southern part of Dublin also offers a variety of clubs, though keep in mind that these will typically have a cover charge to get in on the weekends. The city also has a number of so-called late bars, which are similar to clubs in that they usually feature a dance floor and music, but attract a quieter, older crowd, and don't charge cover fees.

Whatever your preference when it comes to nightlife, this great city will have an ideal venue for you to have fun and be entertained all night long. When the night is over, head back to the safety and comfort of your Dublin holiday home.
