Dublin, the capital and the largest city in Ireland, has become a very popular city year-round. The infrastructure is all you would expect from a popular city and the rural nature of the country means there are also plenty of day trips, especially from spring onwards. If you want winter sun, Dublin is not for you. However, there is so much to see and do even in the winter that Dublin is guaranteed to remain popular. Dublin’s nightlife offers plenty of pubs with live music.

It is an easy city to navigate with the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit), meaning that your choice of hotel can include places that are out of the city. Many of Dublin’s nighttime activities are centrally located but not exclusively so. While Dublin’s city centre is busy by night, it retains an atmosphere of a friendly village with all the mod cons of a modern city. Here are some ideas of what to do in Dublin at night.
