World renowned for its vibrancy, nightlife and wealth of tourist attractions, Dublin is a perfect choice for a weekend break to Ireland. Although over 1.6 million people live in the Dublin area, the centre is surprisingly small and perfectly navicable by foot. From a trip to the theatre to visiting Croke Park for some hurling, why not make your trip to Dublin truly Irish by staying in a historic hotel or inn? Most even serve real Guiness!
