Highlights
Embark on a half-day excursion to Howth, a pretty seaside village on the Howth peninsula, a short way out of Dublin. This ticket includes a return journey to Howth, a guided walk on the cliffs of Howth, and free time to explore the village.
Explore Howth
Discover the charming seaside village of Howth
Howth has been a prosperous fishing village for hundreds (if not thousands) of years. As a strategic headland, it was invaded by Vikings and was the location of many battles as different groups fought to possess it. Now it's a desirable upmarket seaside retreat where golfers and rock-stars rub shoulders with long-standing fishing families. Enjoy 75 minutes of free time to explore Howth and perhaps take the opportunity to sample some of Dublin's finest seafood!
