Short Breaks to Dublin

Why choose Dublin for a Short Break?

Because it's such a good craic. And if you don't have a brilliant time in Dublin there is something seriously wrong with you or the company you keep. This is a city whose people always have the welcome mat out. And the pubs, like the stories told in them, are legendary. Enjoy a pint of Guinesss at the Brazen Head which is the oldest hostelry in Dublin, possibly in Ireland and Europe, and dates back to the 12th century.

Explore the historic streets which inspired master storytellers; Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, James Joyce and many others. The incredible literary, artistic and music heritage of Dublin starts back in 800 AD with the Book of the Kells and continues through George Bernard Shaw's time to Bob Geldof, U2 and Colin Farrell. All these influential figures reflect something of the fierce intelligence, wit and passion of this fair city.

And it's a great city to explore. With ornate castles, historic buildings and wonderful parkland overlooking the charming bay. It's the tops for shops, museums, art galleries, trendy hotels, cool cafes and designer boutiques, too.
