If there's one thing the Irish are famous for, it's their love of a good time, and where better to be wooed by the Emerald Isle's charm than in Dublin? In less than an hour and a half you could be in the fair city, perfect for nipping over to on the bank holiday weekend. History buffs will love the incredible library at The Long Room of Trinity College, literature-lovers should go to Sweny's Pharmacy mentioned in James Joyce's Ulysses. Immerse yourself in local culture in the lanes of the so-called creative quarter between Grafton Street and George's Street and grab the best pint of Guinness you will ever taste. If you need a break from the city, Dublin's surrounds are just as gorgeous; hike up Dublin Mountain for amazing views or dive into the icy Irish sea in Dublin Bay.
