Days 1–3 · Enjoy a Dublin base

Choose a neighborhood and hotel that suit your travel style. Combine a few reserved experiences with free time for cafés, museums, and shopping. A private guide can add context without filling every hour.

Day 4 · A Glendalough interlude

Head into Wicklow and plan a visit to Glendalough. Choose walking distances in advance, keeping the day suited to your comfort. Leave time for lunch and the drive rather than rushing back to the city.

Days 5–6 · A country finish

Spend the final nights in the Wicklow countryside or return to Dublin if fewer hotel changes appeal. A garden visit, spa time, or a relaxed meal can make a fitting end. We will align the final base with departure plans.
