Dublin enchants with its ring of 17th-century canals, world-class museums and legendary cycling culture. A city that rewards every step — or pedal.
Plan My TripDublin is compact, walkable and endlessly rewarding. The Golden Age canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lined with gabled merchant houses that lean at improbable angles over dark water.
Dublin's museums are extraordinary: the Rijksmuseum (Rembrandt, Vermeer), the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House are all world-class. And beyond the culture, the city’s cafés, markets and canal-side restaurants make it one of Europe’s finest food cities.
