Ireland's largest city - almost a third of the country's population lives in the greater Dublin area - it's no wonder this capital is a popular place to visit. Book your hotel rooms early and explore the city by foot, taking in the Guinness Factory, home of the namesake beer, Trinity College, home of the ancient Book of Kells, and the crypts of the Christ Church Cathedral.

Airfare to Dublin will be the cheapest on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday. Mondays are popular with business travellers and weekends are key dates for holidaymakers wanting the longest trips possible - avoid these dates.
