City Break Getaways to Dublin

Only a short hop from most of the UK, Dublin's fair city needs absolutely no introduction and remains as endearing as ever with British travellers. It still sparkles with that effervescence and irrepressible spirit that makes it such a delight for young revellers. Dublin city break getaways however offer so much more than a weekend of hard partying and provides a wide array of intriguing culture and history. Lively it may be but it is also an elegant place filled with graceful Georgian architecture and historic cobbled squares. Stroll among dreaming church spires, exquisite mansion houses and rolling parkland filled with wildflowers, all within a stone’s throw of the city centre.

 

 

Embarking on a city break getaway to Dublin for the first time, there are several iconic sights that are a major feature of any visit. History fans will head straight for austere Dublin Castle and enjoy the timeless elegance of historic Trinity College. Literary walking tours are a fine way to explore the grand Georgian architecture following in the hallowed footsteps of Oscar Wide and James Joyce, venturing into areas seldom visited by tourists. All this sightseeing is likely to give you a thirst and what could be more rewarding than a visit to the famous Guinness Storehouse for an entertaining history lesson about Dublin's most famous export and some liquid refreshment?

 

The aptly named Temple Bar, a well preserved historic quarter, is a magnet for young revellers and oozes plenty of style and atmosphere. Each weekend it is crammed full of partygoers and has certainly put Dublin on the map as one of the liveliest cities in Europe. However most of the city still retains its idiosyncratic charm and the quintessential Irish pub is still to be found throughout the city. A Dublin city break getaway in the Spring promises a spectacular occasion during St Patricks Day when the Irish are sure to party like there is no tomorrow. The sheer scale and vitality is certain to leave even the most energetic reveller breathless. It is truly an unmissable event and a once in a lifetime experience.
