Also remember to visit the immersive experience at the Guinness Storehouse, a brewery presentation of Ireland’s most famous beer, which includes tastings and a rooftop bar.

If history is not your thing, visit the green, sprawling Phoenix Park which is home to the Dublin Zoo, or even the beautiful National Botanic Gardens, the inner city’s link to nature. No matter what kind of sights you choose to visit, thanks to the plethora of Dublin vacation homes, your front door likely won't be too far away.

Dublin’s art and culture

Dublin is Ireland’s hub of art and culture and has a variety of outstanding galleries and theaters, with at least a few venues likely not to far from your Dublin vacation rental's front door. Check out the National Gallery of Ireland, which features historical to contemporary work, or the famed Rubicon Gallery, which features numerous contemporary works from its roster of artists.

Remember to also visit the range of theaters throughout the city, including the National Theater of Ireland, also known as Abbey Theater, as well as the Gaiety Theater and the Olympia Theater, which feature musical works and performance art.

Going out to experience Dublin’s thriving nightlife

The city of Dublin is famous for its nightlife, from its fantastic pub-to-person ratio to its many clubs and venues. On the Southside of the city center, there is a selection of traditional pubs and bars which will likely feature a range of musical venues to visit and enjoy. The southern part of Dublin also offers a variety of clubs, though keep in mind that these will typically have a cover charge to get in on the weekends. The city also has a number of so-called late bars, which are similar to clubs in that they usually feature a dance floor and music, but attract a quieter, older crowd, and don't charge cover fees.

Whatever your preference when it comes to nightlife, this great city will have an ideal venue for you to have fun and be entertained all night long. When the night is over, head back to the safety and comfort of your Dublin vacation home.
