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.
