If your ideal holiday involves days spent learning about history and culture in picturesque parks and cobbled streets, and nights filled with good craic and a pint or two of Guinness, Dublin is the place for you. Nestled in the Emerald Isle, the Republic of Ireland's capital city is synonymous with a good time. Whether you're craving a quick city break or an extended stay, Dublin holds the key to year-round fun and adventure. History lovers can get lost exploring Dublin Castle and St Patrick's Cathedral, while those drawn to nature can hike through the urban Pheonix Park or use the city as a base for adventures further afar. No Dublin holiday is complete without a night out in Temple Bar, which comes to life with crowded pubs pouring perfect pints and bars buzzing with live music and entertainment. While you're at it, remember to add a trip to the Guinness Storehouse - that's one thing you don't want to miss including in your Ireland holiday itinerary.
- What to take on holiday to Dublin?
When packing for a trip to Dublin, don't forget the essentials like your visa, passport, chargers, camera, some euros and the correct power adaptor. Clothing wise, check out the seasonality guides and pack to suit the conditions - aka plenty of layers for winter and lighter options for summer. Other necessities include a raincoat, walking shoes, hat and sunglasses. Oh, and if you’re heading there for St Patrick’s day you’ll need something to suit the occasion. Nothing too crazy, just head-to-toe emerald. Hopefully green is your colour!

If you’re not a fan of the cold and are keen to make the most of your days in Dublin, we recommend visiting between May and October.
