The whole of the Old Town in Dubrovnik is surrounded by the city walls which served as a defence against attack from the sea. The wall stretches nearly two kilometres and is as high as 25 metres in some places. A walk on the walls provides the ideal opportunity to enjoy the medieval and baroque splendours of the Old Town.

Stunning buildings and a great atmosphere make the Old Town fantastic to wander around. The marble-clad streets are some of the most fascinating in the world. The main street, Stradun, begins with an old monastery and ends in a great square. Throughout the Old Town, you will find plenty of restaurants, cafés and souvenir shops.

Find tranquillity in seclusion at this 9-hectare uninhabited island, only a 5-minute ferry journey from Coliemore Harbour in Dalkey. Holy stones are dotted around the island, and the ruins of a 7th-century church remind us that this has long been a place of pilgrimage and spirituality. The island is believed to have been inhabited in the 4th millennium BC, as well as having seen Neolithic, Viking, and Medieval settlements. Today, the island is deserted, with wild goats roaming the land. The island is also a favourite of kayakers in the Dublin region.
