Dun Laoghaire – Rathdown Tourism

Many visitors who come to Dublin focus on inner city attractions. Many forget that Dublin is a coastal city and a trip to Dublin is not complete without a visit to a nearby seaside village. The DART rapid train service is located within minutes walk of the O’Callaghan Alexander, Davenport and Mont Clare hotels just off Merrion Square. Travel north of the line and you will arrive in the charming fishing village of Howth with its charming Sunday food market. Travel south and you will arrive in Dun Laoghaire; a village that has undergone a lot of development in recent years. Packed with restaurants, cafes and bars why not relax and enjoy a coffee in one of the many local and international eateries that overlook the marina.  Every Sunday there's a market in the People's Park Dun Laoghaire. The market traders cover a wide range of fresh organic foods, from breads & cheeses to fresh fruit & veg and lovely cakes. Much frequented by locals, there is a very nice play area for children.
