Dublin City Breaks

Weekend Break - Dublin

Dublin is the artistic capital of Ireland, with its colourful and cosmopolitan atmosphere drawing artists and visitors to it for over a thousand years. On a weekend break in Dublin visitors can explore the rich array of historical and cultural treasures the city has to offer and drink in the ornate architecture of the Georgian buildings and ancient cathedrals throughout the city. As the birthplace of many famous poets and writers throughout history and still home to many modern literary giants, weekend breaks in Dublin are a cultural delight.

Weekend breaks in Dublin also offer a chance to explore the enchanting landscapes of Ireland, as the near by Wicklow Mountains boast some of Irelands most enchanting countryside. Forests and waterfalls are dotted amidst the green hills and glens, with country trails along the most beautiful natural attractions. Dublin Bay looks out over the Dalkey headland and lies at the mouth of the River Liffey, for maritime exploration and the surrounding rural landscapes offer an array of monasteries and castles for visitors to explore.
