Discover Dublin

There are many activities and family activities in Dublin. Dublin contains fine parks, gardens and waterways. As well as fine Georgian Squares, such as Merrion Square and Stephens Green, that facilitate escape from the busy city streets, the city has many botanical gardens and large public parks with gardens. Dublin also boasts the Liffey, the Grand Canal and Royal Canal. Dublin is where you'll find many of the nation’s treasures, housed in the city's galleries and museums and is where some of the most important events of Ireland were played out, most notably the Easter Uprising of 1916. Though the battle between the IRA and British Forces caused extensive damage to the O'Connell Street area of Dublin, (the bullet holes can still be seen on the General Post Office) this was one of the formative events of the Irish Republic. 

Dublin was voted Europe's fourth most popular city break destination, behind London, Paris and Rome and is one of the friendliest capital cities in the world. Dublin's elegant Georgian architecture makes it one of Europe's most attractive capitals. Dublin is a relatively small and accessible city, small enough and safe enough to get around on foot, while the Luas tram system and the suburban rail system, the DART, provide excellent transport links throughout the city.
