Dublin, Ireland

Few European capitals enjoy direct access by ferry, so cruising into Dublin past the Poolbeg lighthouse is an experience not to be missed! Voted Europe’s friendliest city by TripAdvisor, and a UNESCO City of Literature, Dublin offers exciting nightlife in its bustling pubs, world-famous exhibitions such as Trinity College’s Book of Kells, and the Chester Beatty exhibitions, cobbled streets with hipster cafes and independent boutiques, and a variety of outdoor activities from walking to swimming in the bracing waters of the Forty Foot at Sandy Cove, Dublin Bay. For those coming with their car Dublin is a great gateway to discover Ireland.
