Consider these quirky suggestions for the ultimate trip to Ireland!
The Hugh Lane Gallery
Having undergone two years of building work and a magnificent €13m extension, the Dublin City Gallery, or Hugh Lane Gallery, on Parnell Square is a must-see for the curious, art lovers, and culture vultures alike. A city-centre collection of modern and contemporary masterpieces, the treasure trove donated by Sir Hugh Lane has now grown into one of Ireland's foremost artistic collections. With permanent works including Impressionist masterpieces from Manet, Monet, Renoir, and Degas, as well as a range of works from leading national and international contemporary artists, plus an innovative and dynamic array of temporary exhibitions, make sure that this gallery is top of your list of things to see in Dublin.
Clontarf Castle Hotel
For a little bit of mystery and magic on your next trip to Ireland, why not stay in a 12th-century castle? Echoing the stories of the bygone past, this unique hotel is situated just 3km from Dublin (or 8km from Dublin International Airport), and has been revamped with all those necessary 21st-century creature comforts. Clontarf Castle Hotel is a luxury 4-star option for those looking for something a little different in their choice of hotels in Dublin. Offering guests either the Indigo Lounge or the medieval Knights Bar for pre-dinner or evening drinks, the Clontarf Castle Hotel is certainly a past-meets-present experience.
Skellig Islands
Here's a truly off-the-beaten-track take on tourism in Ireland! 12km out on the Atlantic Ocean, the Skellig Islands (Oileáin na Scealaga) can involve a rough sea crossing, but it's well worth it to see the stunning 6th-century monastery on Skellig Michael. Only island visitors are permitted to land on this wild island, and the site doesn't actually contain any shelter or toilets. Bring what you need for a unique day trip (including warm and waterproof garments) and prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
The G
Battling the elements on the coast might not be everyone's idea of an ideal holiday, and that's why there are options such as The G, a luxury hotel in Galway that's turning heads both locally and internationally. Located a few kilometres from the coast and a mere 500m from Loch Atalia, the hotel features décor inspired by the Galway landscape and offers guests unbeatable treatments in the hotel spa centre. Standing in a league of its own in comparison to other hotels in Galway, The G deserves full marks for its striking interior design by Philip Treacy. Indulge and enjoy your stay in Galway at The G. |
