Captivating experience: Dublin is a breath of fresh air, a truly unique capital that’s steeped in tradition yet young at heart. In the historic, compact city centre there are lots to do and see, and visitors will love the rich selection of galleries, museums, restaurants, pubs, and shops, not to mention the traditionally warm welcome from Dubliners. Easy access: Ireland, ideally located on the edge of Europe, is less than one hour from London, less than two hours from Paris or Brussels and just six hours from the east coast of the US by air.
