If Ireland is the emerald isle then Dublin is the multicultural jewel in its crown. Over the last decade and a half it has blossomed thanks to an influx of new residents and a steady stream of tourists who flock to see its higgledy-piggledy array of buildings and enchanting cultural scene. Dublin car hire can enhance the city experience, and is an essential if you're planning on travelling further afield.

Hiring A Car In Dublin

If you hop on a flight to Dublin then you can easily collect your car hire from Dublin Airport. Ferries across the Irish Sea provide the other route into Ireland for many visitors, with the advantage that you can bring your own car. Dublin is fairly congested at peak periods, particularly in the centre, so proper planning will get you to your destination on time.

Places To Visit In Dublin

The colleges of Dublin University are architecturally the equals of England's Oxbridge universities. Amongst them Trinity College is the best place to visit with its Elizabethan history worn on its sleeve. A leisurely stroll across St Stephen's Green is also recommended, whilst the Irish Museum of Modern Art is an attraction for fans of contemporary work. The Dublin hotels provide easy access to these attractions but car rental in Dublin will let you explore without having to seek out sluggish public transport.
