Originating as a Viking settlement in
the Middle Ages, Dublin has now grown to be the island’s primary
city and capital. Credited as a Global City and renowned as the
centre of Ireland’s arts and history, it's the best place to pick
up your hire car.
As the republic’s capital, Dublin’s development is nothing short of impressive – and it boasts not only the fastest growing population of any European city but also the lowest average age of residency with 50% of the capital’s population younger than twenty-five.
Dublin offers two main aspects of interest for potential holiday-makers – its unrivalled nightlife and its rich history of Irish arts. Voted as the friendliest city in Europe in both 2007 and 2009, Dublin’s expansive tapestry of pubs, nightclubs and restaurants is enough to satisfy even the most determined party animals.
Live music is common-place amongst its intimate streets and the Temple Bar area – south of the River Liffey – has become known as one of the most exciting hotspots for tourists visiting Ireland.
