#ITS COASTLINEDublin’s a great city – but it’s so much more than that. Travel north or south of the city centre by DART rail service or by bike, and you’ll

find a sparkling string of coastal towns, beaches, harbours and bracing sea views. And where there’s sea, there’s great seafood!

#FANTASTIC FESTIVALSIt’s no secret that Dubliners love to party, so it makes perfect sense

that you’ll find so many festivals on here throughout the year. St Patrick’s Day is always the big one, but the rest of our calendar is

usually packed with all sorts of festival fun.

dozens of pubs and hotels, and there are plenty of concert venues and clubs hosting local and international bands, artists and DJs.

#STUNNING MOUNTAIN VIEWSEven in Dublin city centre, there are places where you can spot mountains

in the distance, but to really get the full vista, take the DART to Howth. While walking around Howth Head, you can enjoy a breath-taking panorama that includes both the Wicklow and Mourne Mountains.

#TEMPLE BARTemple Bar is the beating heart of Dublin city centre.

No trip here should be complete without a stroll through its cobbled lanes, full of restaurants, shops and galleries. And with so many popular nightclubs and traditional Dublin pubs in the quarter, night-time’s when it really comes alive!

Irish people always happy to tell you about the craic, atmosphere, culture, music and history of Dublin pubs but really, there’s no substitute for

experience. And it goes without saying that you’re always very welcome to come and sample it all for yourself!

#THE RIVER LIFFEYRunning through the heart of Dublin, and culturally celebrated by everyone from Joyce to Radiohead, the River Liffey is both a water

and power supply for the city, and used by commercial and recreational craft. And once a year, hundreds of hardy souls

attempt the historic Liffey Swim! Each of the many bridges that spans the river has its own history and style.
