Dublin is a fantastic city to visit! It’s great fun, it’s friendly, it’s full of history, and it’s full to the brim with great music, pubs, writers, restaurants, artists and stories. You go in to any pub in Dublin and you’ll get talking to the bar person, the person sitting next to you. Its warmth sucks you in and leaves you wanting more.  Whatever, your budget Dublin has so much to offer.

Dublin, and indeed Ireland, have come a long way in 100 years. Our music, art and literature have travelled the world and made an impact on millions of hearts and minds. Today, the city is a multi-cultural, creative hub and in 2010 Dublin was even designated as a UNESCO City of Literature in recognition of its cultural profile and international standing as a city of literary excellence.

Great things are expected when you find yourself in Dublin. Authentic pubs, enthralling history and, of course, the famous craic, but there are so many things that can only be described as 'differently Dublin'. Our unique landscape means that adventure is to be found only minutes from our vibrant city. Take a look at what only Dublin can offer...

Every city has little pockets that become the heart of social and cultural activity and one of those places in Dublin is its squares. Scattered across the capital, these bustling hubs are popular spots for Dubliners to escape the busy city centre, for couples to stroll around admiring the architecture and a place for families to relax, play, and feed the ducks.

From medieval to modern, each of Dublin's squares offers something unique. Most notable are the five Georgian squares – built between 1750 and 1830, they show off Dublin's amazing historical architecture. Not only are the capital's squares great places to escape city life, they have also become go-to alternative venues to host pop culture, historical and artsy events.
