When to go
A city where every pub has a story, every street has a song, and the Guinness genuinely tastes better than anywhere else on earth.
May – Sep is the busiest window in Dublin, so accommodation and flights go first. Book ahead. The shoulder weeks either side are usually quieter for the same reason.
