Dublin in Autumn

Autumn is a brilliant time to explore Dublin. The city’s parks take on their autumn colours, the cultural calendar is full of things to see and do, and there is always somewhere welcoming to escape a passing shower. From September through to November, you can fill a day with famous sights, live entertainment, seasonal events and memorable trips beyond the city.

Plan Your Autumn Visit to Dublin

See more of the city with a DoDublin Hop-On Hop-Off Tour, which makes it easy to travel between Dublin’s leading museums, historic landmarks, parks and neighbourhoods. For an evening out, choose from live music, Irish dancing shows and other nightlife activities in Dublin.

Autumn is also an ideal time for a Day Tour from Dublin. Discover Glendalough, the Cliffs of Moher, Belfast, the Giant’s Causeway and more, while enjoying a comfortable journey from the city centre. As October arrives, Dublin’s darker side comes alive too, with the Ghostbus Tour offering a suitably spooky way to experience the city after dark.

Explore Dublin’s Attractions and Neighbourhoods

Dublin’s major attractions are open throughout autumn, making it a great season to mix famous sights with quieter corners of the city. Visit Trinity College and the Book of Kells, explore Dublin Castle, see St Patrick’s Cathedral or enjoy a pint at the Guinness Storehouse.

A Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour is an easy way to get around when the weather changes. With 25 stops across the city, you can hop off to visit an attraction, explore a neighbourhood or take a walk through one of Dublin’s parks, then rejoin the tour when you are ready.

Enjoy Dublin on Foot

Cooler autumn days are perfect for discovering the city with a local guide. Our guided walking tours of Dublin bring the city’s stories to life as you explore the historic northside or southside on foot.

For a self-guided stroll, take in the Georgian streets around Merrion Square, the cobbled lanes of Temple Bar, St Stephen’s Green or the Phoenix Park. Bring a light rain jacket and you can make the most of Dublin between the showers.

See a Live Irish Dance Show

An evening of traditional music, Irish dancing and good food is a memorable way to spend an autumn night in Dublin. Choose from a range of Irish dancing shows in Dublin, with city-centre venues offering live performers, music and optional dinner experiences.
