The boom of Dublin as a short city break destination really shocked the city into a incredibly quick redevelopment. The plan that followed turned derelict streets into charming open-air markets, grim Irish pubs into trendy, modernist haunts, and Dubliners into forward looking city dwellers with a penchant for wild nights out.
In recent years the economic boom was hit hard by the international banking crisis. In 2009/2010 the global recession hit Ireland particularly hard. Luckily though, the optimism and enthusiasm created by the city’s redevelopment never seemed to diminish.
If you like an offbeat experience when on holiday, try wandering Dublin’s Georgian streetscapes. The city’s easy-going nature and flat landscape make for a pleasant wandering experience. Pop in and out of pubs and soak up the Irish atmosphere. For those after some retail therapy, Dublin’s Grafton Street is a bustling shopping mecca, alive with buskers, street dancers and fascinating old shops.
Those wanting to escape the city may opt for a windswept walk on the beach at Dalkey or a scramble around the rocky cliffs in Howth. There are some cracking seafood restaurants in this area, an open-air cinema and as with everywhere else in Ireland, great live music.
Unlike some popular cities in Europe, Dublin is very expensive, the third most expensive capital in the European Union. It is worth forgetting about the cost of things for a few days though. Dublin is a compelling city, probably the friendliest place on earth. TravelSavvy Dublin City Breaks is the ideal place to learn about this fabulous city.
