Dublin


Dublin has a lot to offer the potential visitor. It is the capital city and the largest port in the Republic of Ireland and has become the most frequent port of call for cruise liners to Ireland. Smaller cruise liners can come up the River Liffey right into the city centre and the larger ships berth in Dublin Port which is only 2km from the city.

Where else in the world can you find culture, history, architecture, scenic beauty, beaches, mountains and all kinds of leisure activities (including more than 50 golf courses) within a radius of 40km of a capital city?

Breathtaking Wicklow with its mountains, lakes, valleys and long sandy beaches is only a short drive to the south. To the north the historic Boyne Valley boasts a different type of grandeur which includes the legendary Hill of Tara, Slane, Newgrange and the site of the Battle of the Boyne.
