Dublin Castle

Looking for a dose of fascinating Irish history without breaking the bank? A visit to Dublin Castle is an absolute must!

Built by King John in the 13th century on a former Viking settlement, this magnificent complex was the centre of English and later British rule in Ireland for 700 years. Today, you can wander through the beautiful State Apartments, where Irish Presidents are inaugurated, explore the stunning Chapel Royal and stroll the lovely Dubh Linn Gardens. It’s a captivating journey through time, from medieval fortress walls to Georgian palaces.

The best part? Our Travelodge Dublin City Centre hotel is perfectly placed just a short and simple walk away (about 15 minutes) from the castle’s Dame Street entrance.
