Croke Park
Croke Park in Dublin is so much more than an impressive sports stadium. “Croker”, as it is locally known, is in many ways is a bastion of Irish identity that protects the spirit of Gaelic games from forces seeking to dislodge it.

Top hotels in Dundrum
Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
Clean accommodations with a shuttle to/from Dublin airport. The shuttle was a bit confusing to find because there is another hotel with basically the same name. It’s also where many tour groups start from so it can be crowded to check in depending on your arrival.
