Those seeking culture will be delighted by the shows at Abbey Theatre, while those interested in sport will be thrilled by the rugby games at RDS arena, while those aching for some nature will enjoy the National Botanic Gardens, and the social types will love O'Shea's.
No matter what you want to do during your trip, this fantastic city is sure to have it. Experienced tourists are well aware of this, so cheap flights to Dublin are usually easy to find.

Best time to go to Dublin

Peak Season:

If you plan on travelling between June and August, it is important to book ahead, as these months see an influx of tourists. If you can manage to get a good deal on flights, this is an excellent time to visit, as the warm weather invites tourists to take historical walking tours through Dublin Castle, Trinity College and Four Courts, enjoy the festivities at the Liffey Swim, and explore the Dublin Zoo.

Shoulder Season:

Dublin's shoulder season falls from March through May, and September through October. Aside from Saint Patrick's Day, which is always a busy time, the city sees a decline in tourism. Flights to Dublin are often inexpensive, and the weather is temperate, making this a good time to see such popular attractions as the Kilmainham Gaol, or take a Traditional Irish Music Pub Crawl through Temple Bar.

Off Season:

As the weather can be brisk from November through February, the off season is the best time to indulge in such indoor activities such as touring the Guinness Storehouse, seeing a show at the Gaiety Theatre, or doing some culture-seeking at the James Joyce Centre.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Dublin?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Dublin escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dublin?
The secret is to be organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Dublin in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
