Dublin

Looking for a last minute holiday to Dublin? We got great deals on Dublin holidays at Plenty Holidays. Dublin is a warm and welcoming city, known for the friendliness of its people and famous for its humour, intelligence, and acerbic and deflating insight that has attracted writers, intellectuals, and visitors for centuries. It has faded grandeur and a comfortably worn sense. Some one-fourth of the residents of the Republic of Ireland live in the Greater Dublin urban area, providing a good deal of bustle. The city’s heart is divided north-south by the River Liffey, with O’Connell’s Bridge connecting the two parts.

Pubs where much of the city’s social life is conducted cafes and restaurants abound, and Irish musicality rarely allows silence. On the north side, near the General Post Office, stand most of the remaining Georgian houses, built in the 18th century around squares, now side by side with glass and concrete offices and apartment blocks. Some of the finest monumental buildings stand on the north riverbank, as do the city’s poorest parts, maintaining a curious juxtaposition between the echoes of the politics and economic life of the past—aristocratic and impoverished. Dublin is considered to be a cheap short city break  with loads of entertainment for all age groups.
