Take a Castle Tour on your Dublin Ireland Vacation

Millions of visitors each year take a Dublin Ireland vacation. Dublin is the first place they explore when they fly into the Dublin Airport just north of the city.

When you tour the region on your Dublin Ireland vacation, you may visit Dublin City as well as the other four administrative sections including Fingal, Dun Laoghaire, Rathdown and South Dublin.

Dublin is a thriving city that has expanded and improved over the past several years as the "Celtic Tiger" phenomenon spread through Ireland.
