Touring Dublin
Dublin is Ireland’s capital and the main gateway for international travelers visiting the country for some rest and relaxation. The city centre of Dublin can get congested with heavy traffic on a regular business week. In spite of this traffic congestion, driving around the city with your car rental Dublin can still be fun. All it takes is for you to know where to go and which routes to take.
Where to go outside Dublin
You can venture out of the city and go to Howth Cliff Walk which is located just outside of Dublin, using the northern route. With your hired car in Dublin, you can stop and walk around the cliffs in Howth. Be sure to visit this area during the months of August to September, a time when heather covers the cliffs in red.
You can even take a boat to visit the island of Ireland’s Eye, located just off the coast of Howth. You can just leave your car rental in Howth while you leisurely explore Ireland’s Eye, strolling around its monolithic ruins until you are ready to eat lunch. You can eat at the ‘King Sitric’ restaurant, located at the harbour.
Exploring Dublin’s surroundings for a day
You can spend a day exploring Dublin’s surrounding counties, which are all just a few hours’ drive away from the city. You can visit the Bru Na Boinne where you can walk around its renowned archaeological sites such as the tombs of Knuth, Dowth and Newgrange. These megalithic tombs are world heritage sites listed by UNESCO.
You can drive in your car rental Dublin as it is located just 50 km to the north, right on the banks of Boyne. With your hired car in Dublin, you can be sure to enjoy your self-drive tours in Dublin and its surrounds. |
