Dún Laoghaire




Looking for a great place to spend the day? Try Dún Laoghaire -- a stunning suburban seaside town about twelve kilometres south of Dublin city centre. For any tourist looking to escape the city for a day, Dún Laoghaire is the perfect place.

Above are pictures from my visit to this beautiful coastal town. Easily accessible by bus or DART, Dún Laoghaire is quite simple to get to. Situated on one of the largest harbours in the country, the town is notable for its two granite piers. On any given day, the piers are full of people walking, jogging and enjoying the scenery. A lighthouse stands at the end of both piers and many sailboats reside in the pristine harbour.

With one main shopping street, two shopping centres, and a wide range of terrific restaurants, Dún Laoghaire has plenty to offer. Best of all, it is easy to get to from The Mount Herbert Hotel as the Landsdowne Road DART Station is just a short walk away!

My day visit to this serene seaside town was relaxing and enjoyable. The views from the harbour are fantastic and the town centre has many interesting shops. If you are looking for somewhere to go on a nice, sunny day, I would highly recommend a visit to Dún Laoghaire!
