Trip Overview

This 5-night Dublin getaway is designed for two adults who want to immerse themselves in the city’s musical soul without giving up comfort or flexibility. Your base at Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, City Quay places you steps from the river and a short stroll from the city’s most iconic neighborhoods, allowing you to experience Dublin both by day and by night.

You will enjoy two curated evening experiences that showcase Ireland’s cultural heartbeat: a traditional musical pub crawl through historic taverns, and the “Celtic Nights” dinner show combining Irish cuisine with live music and dance. Between these highlights, you can shape your own days—exploring literary Dublin, sampling Irish cuisine or taking in the city’s museums and landmarks—returning each night to a modern and cozy aparthotel.
