The Irish can lay on a pretty good party. A great time to be in Ireland is on St Patrick’s Day when the whole country celebrates their patron saint who died on the 17th of March - a good excuse for a drink!
One of the best cities to visit at this time is Dublin. Already known for being a party capital, Dublin erupts on St Patrick’s Day. The streets will be lined with thousands of revellers all accessorised in leprechaun green and Guinness hats, watching marching bands, dancing, live music and flamboyant parades.
And the Irish hospitality really out-does itself at this time. Dublin on St Patrick’s Day has to be the friendliest place in the world. Characteristic pubs brim with hoards of Irish and warmly welcomed tourists, all whetting their whistles for a night of shamrocks and shenanigans.
