When visiting the Irish capital, it's hard to know the best place to stay. With so many incredible neighbourhoods in Dublin, it really depends on what kind of trip you're after. If you want late-night excess, Temple Bar should tick your boxes – while laid-back Portobello offers something a little more relaxing. Dublin has the best of both worlds - a bustling, big city vibe and a friendly community made up of a collection of villages that create something special in the city. For the ultimate Dublin experience, choosing a place to stay is an integral part to make a memorable trip. Dublin is mighty compact, too, but choosing the right spot for accommodation can be the difference between a good stay and a great one. Check out our collection of the best things to do here and make your plans – not before taking a little advice from your old pals at Time Out first.
