With its mix of urban cool, lush parkland, sweeping coastline and hip designer boutiques, Dublin, County Dublin, pulsates with energy while still retaining a warm, laid-back atmosphere. 

Dublin is nestled on the East Coast of Ireland and offers all you could want from a city break with history, culture and more pubs than you’ll know what to do with.

Thankfully, seeing all of Dublin’s sights doesn’t have to cost the earth, either, as you can save money at over 30 attractions around the city by purchasing your Dublin Pass before you go.
