Dublin Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Dublin – where history and heritage thrive, and good cheer abounds. Check out the top sights and stories of the capital city and start planning a trip of your own!

Despite a long and sometimes tragic history of invasion and resistance, this thriving business capital has poetry, music and literature percolating through its cobblestones.

While #Dublin proudly honours its past, it is equally passionate about enjoying each and every new day. Nowhere is life celebrated more than in the city’s nearly 700 pubs.

Of all the gifts, Dublin has given to the world, perhaps the most intoxicating are its stories. Originally built for the sons of the Irish gentry, the ivy-covered stone buildings of Trinity College are home to some of the oldest remaining manuscripts in the world, including the 1000-year-old Book of Kells.

Dubliner Jonathan Swift, once said, “May you live all the days of your life.” There is no better way to define Dublin. Its passion for life is contagious, captivating and sure to stay with you after your #vacation here for the rest of your days.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

I'm an Italian who came to Dublin in 2006, and lived here for 5 years, before a career promotion took me to London. While to many London is an incredible, iconic city with a buzz and vibe, and they would consider themselves fortunate to have a well-paid job in the City... my heart has been crying since 2011 to return to Dublin. The friendliness of the people, the pub atmosphere, the beauty of the city itself, the culture and music, and the craic (of course!) all make it the most amazing place I have ever lived. I'll be back, you can count on it!

How did they manage to film this exactly on that one day of the year that it`s actually sunny in Ireland?

I have been blessed to have lived in Dublin all my life. I have traveled far and Wide. From Paris, London, Spain, China, Russia, United States, Cuba, South Africa and many other countries. It’s only when you travel around the world that you really appreciate how much an incredible city and country we have.

I definitely agree that even though Dublin is the country's biggest city, it has a small town feel, which is one of the things that makes it so special! I'm a musician and I moved to Dublin from NYC about six months ago. I love it here. I've been posting weekly videos of my travels around Ireland and Europe in general!
