Activities in Dublin

The Aviva Stadium is Ireland's premier international sports venue — a 51,700-seat stadium in Ballsbridge that hosts Irish rugby and football internationals. Designed by Populous, its distinctive crescent shape was engineered to minimise shadow on neighbouring houses.

Croke Park is the spiritual home of Gaelic games — a 82,300-capacity stadium and headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). The stadium tour and GAA Museum offer a fascinating window into Ireland's unique indigenous sports: hurling and Gaelic football.

Howth is a picturesque fishing village on the northern tip of Dublin Bay, easily reached by DART train. It offers a working harbour, excellent seafood, coastal walks, and views across to Ireland's Eye — all just 30 minutes from the city centre.
