Tell anyone you’re off to the Irish capital for a holiday and you’re likely to get a response along the lines of ‘Can I come too?’ That’s because Dublin is a byword for fun, a metropolis famed for its sparkle, vibrant culture and charming hospitality.
You’ll find this by the bucketload when you stroll the ancient cobbled lanes of the buzzing Temple Bar district. With its profusion of pubs, restaurants, cafes, and street performers, it’s a great spot to plonk yourself to get a first taste of the city. The area is a hotspot for tourists and party animals, but there’s more to it than meets the eye – Temple Bar is also rich in Irish history, while culture vultures will find theatres and art exhibitions, free concerts and book markets. Pop into Meeting House Square and the Project Arts Centre to find out what’s on during your stay.
