Dublin(opens in a new window), Ireland(opens in a new window)

The Irish capital is synonymous with all things fun. Take a walk through history on the cobblestoned streets, check out the many cool bars and cafés, visit cultural highlights like the Project Arts Centre and Gallery of Photography or soak up the beauty of nature at St Stephen’s Green. Check out the country’s most iconic castle, Dublin Castle, learn about 20th-century Dublin at the Little Museum of Dublin and take in the breathtaking views of Dublin Bay. As the sun sets, sample some Irish whisky and sip on the perfect pint at The Guinness Storehouse, before partying the night away at Temple Bar.

Things to do in Dublin

Trinity College(Opens in a new window)

Trinity College (Irish: Coláiste na Tríonóide), officially the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin, is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin, a research university in Ireland. The college was founded in 1592 as the "mother" of a new university, modelled after the collegiate universities of Oxford and Cambridge, but, unlike these other ancient universities, only one college was ever established; as such, the designations "Trinity College" and "University of Dublin" are usually synonymous for practical purposes. It is one of the seven ancient universities of Britain and Ireland, as well as Ireland's oldest university.

Aviva Stadium(Opens in a new window)

The Aviva Stadium is a sports stadium located in Dublin, Ireland, with a capacity for 51,700 spectators (all seated). It is built on the site of the former Lansdowne Road stadium, which was demolished in 2007, and replacing it as home to its chief tenants: the Irish rugby union team and the Republic of Ireland football team. The decision to redevelop the stadium came after plans for both Stadium Ireland and Eircom Park fell through. Aviva Group Ireland signed a 10-year deal for the naming rights in 2009.
