Dublin holidays

, Ireland

What Dublin might be lacking in size it more than makes up for in character. Walk the restaurant-lined streets, and you'll see superb examples of Georgian architecture, imposing cathedrals, and even the odd castle or two. The city boasts a bubbling art scene that has led to an unprecedented number of art galleries, museums and local theatres for such a small city. Dublin is also an ideal holiday for families, with plenty of attractions for younger visitors. With a warm and welcoming population, there’s something for everyone, whether you want world-class shopping or wide-open spaces.

Travel to Dublin with Qatar Airways Holidays packages to familiarise yourself with one of Ireland’s most vibrant cities.
  • If you want to catch a theatre performance, head to the Abbey Theatre. Modern and classical plays are staged in this beautiful example of Modernist architecture.
  • The Irish are well known for their way with words, so it’s no wonder that Dublin has been designated as a UNESCO City of Literature. One of the greatest examples of this love affair with linguistics can be found in the form of the Marsh’s Library. Opened in the early 18th Century, it functions as both a library and a museum, dedicated to all things literary.
  • For a fascinating look at Dublin’s past, set some time aside to visit Dublin Castle. Set in stunning grounds, it’s a maze of ornate rooms and Gothic architecture.
  • Film buffs will appreciate catching a film at the Stella Cinema. Built in the 1920s, it offers beautiful Art Deco design, and you can watch new and old films from the comfort of a seat, a sofa, or even a bed. A novel experience for young and old.
