Guinness Storehouse
A tour of this pint-shaped hall in a historic brewery provides an intoxicating journey through the making of Ireland’s signature drink.

Croke Park
Croke Park in Dublin is so much more than an impressive sports stadium. “Croker”, as it is locally known, is in many ways is a bastion of Irish identity that protects the spirit of Gaelic games from forces seeking to dislodge it. If this all sounds a bit dramatic you should take the fantastic Croke Park Experience tour to get a very real sense of just how important and deeply ingrained the GAA and Gaelic games are to Ireland’s sense of itself.

Aviva Stadium
Watch a game of rugby or soccer and take a tour of the changing rooms and players’ tunnel to peek behind the curtain.

Top hotels in Leopardstown

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
Decent breakfast, no complaints. Room was spacious and quiet for a hotel close to airport. We ate in the Italian Kitchen and the bar restaurant. A little pricey but nice enough and convenient. Would recommend as cheaper that Dublin City centre and easily drivable if you have a car.

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Very clean, well kept, very kind and helpful staff! Breakfast was good and fresh but we only ate there once and bar service was great! I missed having coffee or tea in my room, they have a galley on each floor with supplies for coffee and tea but it was a ways from our room! No ice machine either ...
