War Memorial Gardens
War Memorial Gardens is just one of the places to see in Dublin, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Attend a sporting event or simply enjoy the lively bars while you're in the area.

St. Stephen's Green
Take a break in Dublin’s most popular public park with green lawns and flower beds, a stone bridge and statues, a swan-filled lake and a playground.

Trinity College
Walk the cobbled lanes of Ireland’s oldest university, alma mater to literary greats and home of the precious Book of Kells.

Croke Park
Croke Park in Dublin is so much more than an impressive sports stadium. “Croker”, as it is locally known, is in many ways is a bastion of Irish identity that protects the spirit of Gaelic games from forces seeking to dislodge it. If this all sounds a bit dramatic you should take the fantastic Croke Park Experience tour to get a very real sense of just how important and deeply ingrained the GAA and Gaelic games are to Ireland’s sense of itself.

Aviva Stadium
Watch a game of rugby or soccer and take a tour of the changing rooms and players’ tunnel to peek behind the curtain.

Dinner was very good, but a serious lack of automatic doors which makes moving luggage between check in/out and the rooms very challenging.

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central
Biggest plus is the proximity to the airport and the free shuttle service. The room was clean, but only one luggage stand for two suitcases. Had a sandwich at the bar that was good, but the bar/restaurant could have used another helper. Staff was friendly and got us checked in/out quickly.
