The lively Irish capital combines centuries of history, a top-class arts and culture scene, a wide range of hotel accommodation and that world-famous Dublin hospitality to offer the perfect location for a weekend away. While the city is famed for its pubs and a certain brand of stout, there's much more to Dublin than just its many opportunities to have a good booze-up. With a history spanning more than 1,000 years, you can have a fascinating time exploring Dublin's past at its many museums and galleries - as well as its picturesque cathedrals and castles - whether you're interested in the city's beginnings or the beautiful architecture that emerged from the Georgian period. Elsewhere, Dublin's literary heritage is well-known worldwide, with writers such as James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Bram Stoker, Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and William Butler Yeats among those who were born in or just outside the metropolis. As such, you can find a host of attractions dedicated to Dublin's literary output, including the Book of Kells - which dates back to 800 AD and can be seen at Trinity College - along with James Joyce Tower, Oscar Wilde House and the Dublin Writers Museum. You can even go on a literary pub crawl and a tour of Dublin that takes in some of the settings of scenes in Ulysses, Joyce's famous doorstopper of a novel. Other attractions in Dublin include its fantastic shopping facilities - whether you want to peruse luxury goods or browse tiny independent record stores and second-hand bookshops - and its vast array of restaurants offering cuisine ranging from traditional Irish grub to Indian, Korean and Spanish food. If you want to relax after immersing yourself in the hustle and bustle of the city, you can also visit Phoenix Park - which is located in the very heart of Dublin - for a sit-down by the pond, or head to one of Dublin's numerous pubs for a pint or two. Whatever kind of break you're looking for, Dublin is sure to provide it, so why not look into booking Dublin hotels and flights today?
