Days are a whirl of show-stopping attractions and nights shimmer beneath the city’s festive lights. Dublin goes all out for winter. Don’t miss it!

Love traditional Irish music? Then you HAVE to experience this trad music festival in the heart of the city.
The city is fueled by the ever-endearing Gaelic trait of craic (crack)—a hodgepodge of innate humor and all-around appreciation of fun.CN Traveler

Dublin is a hub for rail and bus services, so extending your winter break is a no-brainer. Ireland’s cities are all just two to three hours away by public transport.

And if you have the time, iconic sights such as the Cliffs of Moher out west and the Causeway Coast to the north will take your breath away. Winter in Dublin... make that winter on the island of Ireland.
