On top of being home to one of Europe’s most exciting cities, Dublin County and its folklore, Guinness and some of the friendliest people you will ever meet also boasts other areas that are certainly worth a visit while you are in the region. Swords, for example, was voted the third best place to live in Ireland and has a wide range of shopping facilities, entertainment and restaurants. Rush is a small seaside town, just a short drive away from Dublin, which offers a quieter alternative to the buzz of the city. Dublin itself offers plenty in the way of activities and sites, from playing host to the Gaelic Games and a walk around Pheonix Park to shopping and dining out in one of Europe’s top destinations.

Dublin County with the family
Dublin is home to one of the world’s oldest zoos, imaginatively called Dublin Zoo. A trip to visit the 600 animals, which include lions and monkeys, with young kids is highly recommended. If your kids are in the mood for more animal fun after visiting the zoo then you should take them on a sea safari tour, where you can witness lots of wildlife around the Dublin Bay. If you are looking to culturally enrich your children during your time in Dublin County then consider a trip to the National Museum of Ireland, which offers much in the way of science and animal-centric exhibitions.
