Maybe you're hoping to get a taste of the city's St. Patrick's Day celebrations this March (which, for the record, taste like a whole lot of Guinness), or perhaps you'd prefer to enjoy a quiet couple of days in the capital of the Emerald Isle. Either way, Dublin is the perfect town for a weekend getaway.
Both flights and lodging are delightfully reasonably priced (you can get there for just £30 from London!), and what better way to break from routine than by knocking back a few pints along Temple Bar and getting lost in the stacks of the Trinity College library with your partner?
Book a stay at Cassidy's Hotel — a self-proclaimed "little gem in the heart of Dublin" (think mod, boutique hotel meets old-school B&B) — where rooms start at just £45 a night.
