Vacation Rentals in Dublin

On the banks of the Liffey, you can spend your holiday in a bright, modern apartment or a lovingly furnished, rustic holiday home. This central location is home to a variety of sights, restaurants, pubs and shopping on O'Connell Street. You are wonderfully flexible in your apartment and can easily reach supermarkets and bus stations on foot.

Northwest of the city centre, Phoenix Park covers an area of 7km². Near the "green lung of Dublin" you can live with the whole family in a spacious vacation rental and enjoy nature. Dublin Zoo is also integrated into the park. In the northeast of the city you will also find a comfortable vacation rental in the surroundings of Bull Island. The offshore island of Dublin Bay has the 5 km long white Dollymount beach.

Dublin, the capital of Ireland, stretches along the east coast of the island. The city's port is located on the Irish Sea, which separates Great Britain from Ireland. From the Irish word "Duibhlinn", which means "black pond", the Vikings already derived the deep, black sea. With around 527,000 inhabitants, Dublin is also the largest city in the country. The river Liffey divides the city centrally into the northern and southern part.

The Irish capital offers a diverse variety. Districts like the Temple Bar District invite you to culinary highlights and offer a paradise of small shops, second-hand clothes and music. Along the Liffey, dreamlike parks and cultural buildings alternate which are worth a visit. The natural sandbank of Bull Island and the kilometre-wide beach Sandymount Beach in the south of the city offer a contrast.

Dublin Airport is located about 12 kilometres north of the city centre. To get to your apartment, you can travel inexpensively and comfortably by bus "Airlink". This stops at numerous central stops. Dublin's public transport is also served by bus lines. The DART train commutes between the city centre and the suburbs at regular intervals.

The most popular attraction for holidaymakers is the Guinness Storehouse. The world-famous Guinness beer has a 250-year tradition, which is presented in detail in the beer museum. On 7 floors you will learn everything about the production, history and curiosities. On the building at a height of 47 metres is the highest bar in Dublin with glass windows and an excellent view over the city.

The Temple Bar district is a magnet for visitors. Nowhere else do medieval alleys and historical facades meet the hustle and bustle of indie shops, cosy pubs and organic markets. Here you can take part in Irish life directly from your holiday home. Pretty restaurants and studios are lined up here in a series of highlights such as the "Wall of fame" or the "National Wax Museum". In the evening, musicians create a convivial atmosphere in the alleys.

Awe-inspiring medieval buildings characterize the cityscape of Dublin. If your apartment is in the centre, you can reach famous sights such as St Patrick's Cathedral, Christ Church Cathedral and Dublin Castle Museum on foot and enjoy a glimpse of the city's legendary history.

The largest zoo in Ireland, the Dublin Zoo, offers adventurous hours for the whole family. It is located directly in Phoenix Park and was opened in 1830. It is divided into different subject areas. From primates, arctic inhabitants, African exotics up to reptiles and a petting zoo interesting animals can be observed on 13 hectares.

The banks of the Liffey are connected by numerous bridges. Two of these bridges have become Dublin's landmarks. The romantic Half Penny Bridge from 1816 connects Temple Bar with Henry Street and adorns numerous postcards. The Samuel Beckett Bridge in the Docklands has a modern design and is in the form of a harp, which is a symbol of the Irish people.

A valuable cultural heritage of Dublin are the literary stories which have their origin here in Ireland. World-renowned writers such as James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and Maeve Binchy lived in Dublin and the cityscape features statues and museums reminiscent of them. Only a total of four cities worldwide have been honoured by UNESCO as cities of literature.

The St. Patrick`s Festival takes place every year around the 17th of March. The national festival is so widespread internationally that all Irish people in the world celebrate it. For example, the Hofbräuhaus in Munich is illuminated in green to mark the marriage of the Irish. Three days of colourful parades, events and musical entertainment take place in Dublin.
