Ireland's capital, split by the Liffey into a compact, walkable city
Dublin is Ireland's capital and its most-visited city, split north and south by the River Liffey. The city centre, Temple Bar and The Liberties sit within easy walking distance of each other, making it a natural base for guests exploring the Guinness Storehouse, Trinity College and everything in between.
Highlights
- Trinity College and the Book of Kells in the Long Room Library
- The Guinness Storehouse and the Gravity Bar's panoramic views
- Temple Bar's pubs, galleries and live music
- Kilmainham Gaol and the National Museum of Archaeology
Getting around
Well served by Dublin Bus, the Luas tram network and DART rail; Dublin Airport is roughly 25–40 minutes from the city centre by car or bus depending on traffic.
