Dublin, sitting by the River Liffey, is now one of the most
cosmopolitan cities in Europe. This city’s past has thrown up
some of the literary greats of Ireland. From Samuel Beckett to
James Joyce and via the genius of Oscar Wild, Dublin is a city
that feeds the imagination.
The surrounding countryside is dotted with small, picturesque
villages, and you’re never far from a welcoming pub where
you can enjoy a glass of Guinness or ‘the black stuff’ as
locals call it.
Whether clients are leaving Dublin for the day or your
programme is centred on rural hotels, the Chic Outlet
Shopping ® destination of Kildare Village is a great place to
include in an itinerary.

the visitor opportunities to learn about the famous writers
Dublin has inspired. Add to this the Guinness Storehouse,
home of the famous Irish stout, and you might find yourself
inspired, not least by the spectacular view of the city afforded
by the bar at the top of the Storehouse.
To the south-west of Dublin, County Kildare is renowned the
world over for horse breeding and the Irish National Stud.
You can see these magnificent animals in action at the
Curragh Racecourse, host to the world-famous Irish Derby,
and Punchestown Racecourse, home of National Hunt racing
in Ireland.
In Kildare itself you’ll find fine examples of Ireland’s rich
legacy of churches and monasteries a stone’s throw from
