Best Journey Time
From May to September, when the days are longer, the weather is mild and the courses are in excellent condition, is the ideal time for golf in Dublin. In May and June the temperatures are pleasant and the golf courses are not yet crowded. July and August offer the warmest temperatures but can be crowded so early morning or late tee times are recommended. September is ideal as the courses are less busy but the weather remains pleasant. In the fall and winter, conditions are less stable, with more rain and wind, but some links courses remain playable year-round. Those looking for a real links experience can also take on the challenge in the cooler months, but must bring weatherproof clothing.
Special Destinations
A highlight is Howth, a picturesque fishing village northeast of the city, which delights with spectacular cliff walks and first-class seafood. Also worth a visit is the Wicklow Mountains, just a short drive from Dublin, where visitors can explore the idyllic monastic settlement of Glendalough and enjoy breathtaking scenery. For a trip back in time, visit Malahide Castle with its extensive gardens, while the Powerscourt Gardens impress with their impressive landscape architecture and waterfalls. Another highlight is the Jameson Distillery in Midleton, where whiskey lovers can immerse themselves in the world of Irish whiskey.
Culinary Highlights
Dublin offers an exciting mix of traditional Irish cuisine and modern gastronomy. An absolute must is the Irish Breakfast, which is a hearty start to the day with sausages, bacon, eggs, beans and soda bread. Fish & chips, best enjoyed in a traditional pub or in Howth right on the harbor, are a classic of Irish cuisine. Another highlight is Irish stew, a hearty stew of lamb, potatoes and vegetables, which is particularly popular on chilly days.
For foodies, Dublin offers first-class seafood, including Dublin Bay Prawns and fresh oysters, which are often served with a pint of Guinness. Cheese lovers should try Cashel Blue, a tangy blue cheese from Ireland. In the numerous pubs and modern restaurants, you will also find creative dishes with local ingredients, often paired with high-quality Irish whiskeys or craft beers.
