Dublin City & Day Trips
Based in Dublin, explore the Old Town, the Liberties, plus the Wicklow Mountains and Howth Peninsula.
No hotel changes or car rentals are needed throughout the trip, making it perfect for first-time visitors or short holidays. Spend the first two days visiting Trinity College, the cathedrals, Guinness Storehouse, and Kilmainham Gaol. On the third day, join a day tour to Glendalough and Powerscourt, and on the fourth day, take the DART to Howth for the cliff walk before departing. Newgrange requires a separate booking and is not included in this itinerary.
Dublin Castle is closed for refurbishments until January 2027; please double-check before departure.
