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.

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin
The breakfast was amazing! Plenty of choice for everyone. The room was clean and tidy. The only problem was that the walls are quite thin. I could clearly hear next door room’s T.V until midnight . However, I would stay here again.
