Dublin is a great destination for solo travellers. The city is small and most attractions are easily accessible on foot, however hop on hop off tours are also a great way to see the city especially if this is your first solo trip.
The Hugh Lane Art Gallery, Trinity College, GPO and History Museum and James Joyce Visitor Centre are all less than 10 minutes’ walk from the hotel. Within 30 minutes’ walk you will find the Guinness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery or if you crave nature you can explore the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, an oasis of calm and beauty. If you would like to get out of the city, the dart service at the nearby Connolly Station operates a regular train service which runs along the coast of the Irish Sea from Malahide to Howth in North County Dublin heading southwards as far as Greystones. The line offers stunning scenic coastal views, take a freshly prepared picnic Afternoon Tea or packed lunch from the Old Music Shop Restaurant or visit one of the many famous seafood restaurants in the fishing town of Howth.
When the weather turns as it is prone to do, there is still plenty to do indoors. Immerse yourself in history at one of the three National Museums in Dublin – all of which are always free and they all regularly have programmes including free guided tours. Or take in a show at nearby Gate or Abbey Theatres.
Visit our comprehensive Dublin Guide for endless options to enjoy and staff are always on hand to offer advice.
