Key Facts

Located approximately five miles north of the city, Dublin Airport (DUB) is the country’s main aviation hub.

This makes it easier to explore attractions like Trinity College, Kilmainham Gaol and the Guinness Storehouse, which boasts a rooftop bar with panoramic views of the city.

Hints and Tips

Founded as a Viking settlement at the mouth of the River Liffey, Dublin's coastal location creates a maritime climate of cool winters and mild summers, similar to other parts of northwest Europe. January lows average 48 degrees Fahrenheit while July highs reach 68 degrees. Moderate rainfall is distributed evenly throughout the year. The result is ideal weather for outdoor events, such as the Irish Derby and the three-week long Dublin Fringe Festival.
