Welcome to County Dublin
County Dublin is virtually synonymous with the city at its heart, which in recent decades has extended its concrete reach to include most of the county. As Ireland's capital and largest city by a considerable distance (roughly one quarter of the Irish population lives and works here), it is where you'll find the biggest selection of hotels and restaurants, the biggest choice of attractions and things to do, and virtually all of the services available in Ireland.
