Ireland: Galway & Connemara Coast ​

Ireland’s historic capital is one of the world’s “must-see” cities—and our affordable extension lets you do just that. Perhaps you’ll view the Book of Kells at Trinity Church … marvel at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the largest church in the country … browse the antique shops on Francis Street … gaze at the colorful “Doors of Dublin” that grace the Georgian townhouses lining the south bank of the River Liffey … take in a production at the world-famous Abbey Theatre … or pay homage to the city’s literary heritage at the Dublin Writers’ Museum. Our 4-star “hidden gem” of a hotel puts you within minutes of the city center.

Available only with the Air Inclusive Package.

One of the oldest cities in Europe, Dublin provides visitors with a multitude of cultural riches, from the ancient to the avant-garde. Whatever your interests—history, architecture, literature, art, archaeology or the performing arts—you'll find something here to delight you. Monuments in literature and in stone commemorate the writers, poets, statesmen, soldiers and colorful ordinary people who make Dublin a place like no other. Medieval, Georgian and modern architecture provide a backdrop to a friendly, bustling port that claims literary giants such as Wilde, Shaw, Joyce, Yeats, Beckett and O'Casey as native sons. Spawned by the need to ford the River Liffey, fortified by the Danes, developed by the Normans and adorned with Anglo-Irish architecture, the city has grown in stature and elegance over the centuries.

Continue your independent exploration of Dublin today. You may want to explore Trinity College, the Dublin Writers' Museum or Christ Church Cathedral. Take in a show at the Abbey Theatre or at one of the city's many other venues. Hoist a pint with Dubliners at a traditional Irish pub, or stop in at a trendy wine bar in the Temple Bar area. Or walk along the River Liffey or through one of the many shopping squares.

After breakfast*, transfer to the Dublin airport for your flight home.
