Hotels in Dublin are littered throughout the city, with the Temple Bar area of the city being popular with backpackers and those who are looking to stay for only a few days at a time. Dublin Hotels are often at their busiest around the time of the Irish national holiday - St Patrick’s Day – so if you’re looking to visit the city and join in the festivities it’s best to 
book early.
Dublin is also known for its stout production, and tours of the world famous Guinness brewery are available all year round, and there are plenty of bars littered around the city centre in which you can sample the local brew in a lively and friendly atmosphere.
