Dublin Vacation Packages

This area of Dublin is inhabited by about 1,000,000 people.

Dynamic and international, Dublin is renowned for Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral. And of course, there is also Ha' Penny Bridge and the Dublinia.

Rediscover the joys of childhood and throw yourself into a place of enchantment at National Aquatic Centre and Clondalkin Leisure Centre. If you're on the lookout for even more family fun, head on to the National Wax Museum Plus and Saggart Pitch and Putt Course.

The Dublin Zoo is a great place to take your children for an exciting morning among local and exotic animals. Be sure to ask at the entrance about hands-on activities and where to find the zoo's rarer specimens.

Wondering just what it is that makes the beer that comes from Dublin so great to drink? Head to the Guinness Storehouse for a behind-the-scenes look at the different brewing processes and you might discover some of the secrets.

Whether you want to put on your poker face or just get a taste of the exciting atmosphere, the Casino at Marino and the Fitzwilliam Casino & Card Club are a must. On another day, you could also try your luck at the Dr. Quirkey's Good Time Emporium or the Sporting Emporium Casino, Dublin.

From budding botanists to casual gardeners, everyone is sure to be impressed by the plants on display at the National Botanic Gardens. You can also take a rewarding walk through the Talbot Botanic Gardens and the Castle Gardens.

When it's time to take five, grab some lunch and head out to one of the area's pleasant green spaces, such as the Garden of Remembrance and the War Memorial Gardens. There's also plenty of space to lounge about in the grass at St. Stephen's Green and Phoenix Park.

If you are interested in information about the Dublin area, pick up some pamphlets at Waterways Visitor Centre.

Freshwater lakes offer lots of activities for visitors of all ages. From walks to wildlife watching, there's always fun to be had. River Dodder, The Forty Foot and River Liffey are the most frequented. Find out which one best suits your needs before heading over for a great afternoon by the water.

Need a bit of relaxation time? Spend the day sitting back by the shoreline at Sandymount Beach, Donabate Beach or Dollymount Beach.

Need to escape the bustle of the city? Head on over to Dalkey Island and Howth Harbour. Nature-loving visitors will also have a wonderful time at Dun Laoghaire Harbour and St Annes Park.

The area's exhibition spaces are a treasure trove of intriguing facts and stories. Savor the quiet and relaxing atmosphere as you admire the displays at the National Gallery of Ireland at Merrion Square and the National Museum of Natural History. The Book of Kells and the Dublin Writers Museum are also worth looking at.

Maritime history enthusiasts can get their bearings at the National Maritime Museum of Ireland, a treasure trove of important nautical artifacts. If the winds permit, continue sailing through this region's seafaring traditions at the National Maritime Institute Museum.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to get a kick out of the scientific objects and discoveries presented at the Science Gallery.

The glass cabinets at the National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology and the National Museum of Ireland - Natural History are overflowing with wondrous specimens.

Dublin is a frenzy of artistic activity, with gallery and exhibition spaces galore. Revel in the creative atmosphere at the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art. Afterwards, if you still have some energy left, wrap up your day at the Chester Beatty Library and Gallery of Oriental Art and the National Museum of Ireland - Decorative Arts & History.

Go back to a time long since forgotten and discover the secrets of yesteryear at the Dalkey Heritage Centre or the Pearse Museum. The Little Museum of Dublin and the Dvblinia & the Viking World are also worthwhile options.

To find out more about the events and people who shaped this place, pay a visit to its historic sites. Begin your local history tour at the Trinity College or the National Library of Ireland. You might also like to get out the camera and snap some photos at Four Courts and the Old Jameson Distillery.

Take a moment to watch the water flowing underneath O'Connell Bridge. This heritage structure has played an important role in connecting the city's inhabitants.

You probably won't see any knights in shining armor, but you may stumble upon a dungeon or two at Malahide Castle and Clontarf Castle. For even more picturesque views and historical stories, go and explore Ardgillan Castle and Drimnagh Castle.

Whether you're spiritual or not, you'll be sure to enjoy a visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral and St. Michan's Church. You could also take a walk around St. Audeon's Church and John's Lane Augustinian Church.

Before you pack up your suitcase and head home, be sure to stop by some of the area's lesser-known attractions. Millennium Bridge and the Leopardstown Racecourse are well worth a look. If you can fit it in, also think about visiting Royal Irish Yacht Club or Clara Lara Fun Park.
