Where to Stay in Dublin

Modern waterfront district on the south side of the River Liffey that has become Dublin's tech hub. Home to the European headquarters of Google, Meta and many other tech companies, as well as high-end apartments, hotels and restaurants. Very convenient for office commuters and remote workers who want to be in the middle of the action, with excellent public transport and a premium feel.

Leafy, village-like neighbourhoods just south of the canal, popular with young professionals, students and expats. Packed with cafés, brunch spots, pubs and independent shops, while still being a short bus, LUAS or bike ride to the city centre. Housing ranges from shared houses to renovated period homes. Great balance between local atmosphere and convenience.

Trendy northside neighbourhoods just 10–15 minutes walk from the city centre and beside Phoenix Park. Former warehouse and working-class areas that have become creative hotspots with street art, independent cafés, craft pubs and a strong community feel. More affordable than the Docklands, with a mix of apartments and terraced houses.

Historic core of Dublin including Temple Bar, Grafton Street and the streets around Trinity College. Extremely central with walkable access to sights, pubs, shops and offices, but also the most touristic and noisy area, especially at night. Great for short stays if you want to be in the middle of the action, less ideal for light sleepers or long-term living.
