Expert tip

Dublin is known for a fantastic live music scene, so make sure you allow a couple of nights to hang out in the Temple Bar district! Handy hint: learn the words to "The Wild Rover" and "Whiskey in the Jar", you'll hear these many times, and the locals will all be singing so make sure you get involved!

Grafton Street

On Grafton Street, luxury is the operative word. Five-star hotels abound in this classy area. Centrally placed, staying on Grafton Street ensures comfort and access to many inner-city landmarks like St Stephen's Green. If you yearn for a bit of pampering along with convenience, this is one of the best areas to stay in Dublin.

Temple Bar

Temple Bar is where you should stay if you'd like to keep things relatively fancy and still be able to take advantage of Dublin's premier nightlife and entertainment district. Take up residence in a serviced apartment or a plush hotel and enjoy a short walk to all the fabulous eateries, pubs and shopping that Temple Bar has to offer.

St Stephen's Green

Located at the south end of Grafton Street, St Stephen's Green is a large inner-city park surrounded on all sides by high-quality heritage-listed hotels. For a taste of the old world and some true rustic, traditional Irish hospitality, these are the perfect places to stay during your visit to Ireland.

The Liberties

The Liberties area of Dublin is filled with lots of serviced apartment-style accommodation, which is fantastic if you'd prefer to base yourself in one location. This kind of accommodation will allow you to be much more self-sufficient – prepare your own food and plan your days, while staying in one of Dublin's best areas.

Central Dublin

Enjoy a true inner-city experience. Central Dublin offers all the plush inner-city hotels one would expect, along with a collection of older, heritage hotels and even a generous mix of apartments and hostels mixed in for those who don't mind a cheap stay.
