Are you and your friends a big fan of sports? Then be sure to check the schedule of games at Aviva Stadium when you visit Dublin! You may be lucky and see a game with the Irish rugby team or the Republic of Ireland football team!

A walk along the pier on a fresh morning or afternoon is just the ticket if a romantic stroll is what you’re after. Breathe in the fresh ocean air and take in the stunning views as you walk; stop off at Teddy’s for an ice cream cone to take on your stroll, and don’t forget to tip the end of the pier with your foot when you get there – it’s a Dublin tradition!

A couples holiday would never be complete without an afternoon spent browsing the most famous stores. From Grafton Street to Henry Street, Dublin city centre is home to some impressive shopping.

This city-centre gem is just off Dublin’s main shopping street, and the perfect place to take a romantic stroll on a sunny day. Filled with winding paths, rolling greens and benches situated by scenic ponds, St. Stephen’s Green is an emerald oasis that will make you both forget you’re in the heart of a city for a moment and leave you with fond memories of your romantic weekend getaway.

3Arena is a state-of-the-art entertainment venue and it has world-class acoustics which is perfect for concerts when your favourite artist is visiting Dublin! Make sure to check the schedule of performances and don’t miss out!

Situated in the Viking quarters of the city, Dublin Castle was built in the 13th Century. Now, it’s a government complex and a tourist attraction. There’s usually an event, exhibition or fair every weekend, including a winter wonderland during the Christmas season.

Dublin Castle is open everyday, from 9:45 to 17:45 (last admission at 17:15).

Although a university campus might not seem like the most romantic of settings, Trinity College is an exception. Dating all the way back to 1592, Dublin’s oldest university is situated on truly stunning grounds. 

The grounds are open to the public, so stroll through them on an Autumn day, taking in the cobblestones and grand buildings, for a memorably romantic afternoon.
