Natural Attractions

The River Liffey flows through the centre of the city, adding interest and appeal to tourists, who can take walks along its banks.

The River Liffey enters the Irish Sea in Dublin Bay, so visitors to the city are not far from the coast with lots of coastal walks and water-based activities available.

Just to the south of the city lie the Wicklow Mountains with peaks rising to 3,000 feet.  This area provides opportunities to get out of the city and enjoy activities such as mountain biking, walking and climbing.  Therefore, a wider range of tourists are likely to be attracted to Dublin.
