Ireland's capital city lies at the heart of a region that enchants the visitor with a selection of fascinating historical monuments, beautiful natural scenery, thrilling sporting events, and unspoiled lakes, rivers and stretches of coastline.

Dublin is usually the first port of call for visitors and this energetic, youthful city pulsates with a compelling mix of history, culture, hip bars and pubs, elegant architecture, great shopping and some of the country’s most sophisticated restaurants. Cosmopolitan and diverse, Dublin is now one of Europe’s top urban hotspots.

We've chosen Malahide as your base for this tour, which is one of the most delightful harbour towns in all of Ireland. Full of restaurants and cafes, this is a lovely place to unwind and stroll around its bustling harbour. To get to Dublin itself, you can just hop on the regular DART train service, which takes just 20 minutes, so you can go in and out as often as you like (without being stuck in the notorious Dublin traffic !).

Dublin makes a superb location for any golfing break and the surrounding golf courses are among the best in the world. There is something for everyone looking for golf near Dublin, from the towering sand dunes of The Island to the hidden gems at Laytown and Seapoint.
