Book Your New Year's Break in Dublin with Jacobs Inn Hostel

Dublin is a great city to visit any time of the year, but it’s a magical place at Christmas and the New Year. From carol singers on street corners and live music in pubs, wherever you go you’re sure to be entertained. The city really comes alive especially after dark, so just strolling around the city’s streets at night is an attraction in itself!

As it’s becoming more and more popular to head away to ring in the New Year, why not let Dublin be the place that you welcome in the New Year!

If you appreciate classical music then book yourself one of the hottest tickets in town, to the annual RTE New Year's Eve Gala Concert, which will be held in the National Concert Hall (NCH). It’s a great opportunity to get dressed up in all your finery and relax to some all time classics and melodic Viennese music.

If you want to party your way into 2010 then you couldn't be in a better place than Dublin. You'll find lots of traditional Irish bars, disco bars, and nightclubs which will all have their own countdown at midnight. You'll find an excellent selection in Temple Bar – Dublin's vibrant cultural quarter. 

Why not ring in the New Year to the sound of the Christchurch Bells which will be heard ringing throughout the entire city at midnight. This is a big tradition in Dublin city centre where hundreds of people flock to Christchurch Cathedral to hear the tolling of these famous bells. The cathedral has a record number of 19 bells. If you're going to this event then get there early – wrap up warm, get a good spot and join in with the other revellers outside the cathedral.

New Years is a very busy time in Ireland's charming capital city, so it's never too early to book your Dublin accommodation.
