Fly to Dublin

On flights to Dublin from Manila, you will be arriving in one of the liveliest and friendliest capital cities in Europe. It has a relaxed charm that endears it to everyone, whether you're looking for romance, history, a family-friendly holiday, or top hotels and restaurants.

Half of Dublin's population is under the age of 35 giving it a youthful feel, alongside its 2000-year-old history.

Dublin’s eastern suburbs reach to the Irish Sea while the centre of this fairly flat city is split by the River Liffey. Plan your itinerary well before taking flights to Dublin from Abu Dhabi, as there is wide range of things to do.



Temple Bar, south of the Liffey, is one of the city's busiest areas. Packed with cafés, pubs, galleries and restaurants, it is also close to attractions like Dublin Castle and Trinity College.

The National Museum and its offshoot at Collins Barracks have unrivalled collections of Irish treasures. Merrion Square dates back to 1762 and has fine Georgian buildings. The surrounding streets are home to highlights such as the National Gallery.

O'Connell Street is the city's main shopping street. It leads north from the River Liffey and contains the historic General Post Office. Relax into the café and bar culture, and enjoy the people. See the museums and galleries. Revel in the fine food from pub grub to Michelin-starred restaurants.

The Cobblestone on King Street North is one of the most popular venues in Dublin for traditional music, away from the more touristy areas.

Fly from Manila

It's a pity that Manila is often disparaged, as there's much here to like. Frustrating and fascinating in roughly equal measure, Manila’s chaotic sprawl encompasses many formerly separate towns each with their own character – from the air-conditioned malls of Makati to the markets of Chinatown.

The country has suffered a string of invasions from the Spanish, the Americans and the Japanese but all of which have served to make its population more resilient. You would be pushed to find people more good-humoured and friendly than Filipinos.

There are a wide range of things to do in Manila, whether you are an outdoor adventurer, a party-goer or shopper.

The Intramuros district's fort and cathedral hint at the city's grandeur before the devastation of the Second World War. The small island of Corregidor, now popular with day-trippers, was the site of the US Army's last stand against the Japanese invasion in 1941.



Go for jungle walks in the tropical forest resort of Hidden Valley or visit San Agustin Church, Manila's oldest stone church. Spend at least a day in the huge Mall of Asia at Roxas Boulevard, which includes a science museum and a whole building devoted to entertainment.

Manila also has some of the best nightlife in the region, from local rock concerts to exclusive nightclubs. Malate district is one of the most famous areas to visit, as are Makati and Global City in the Greenbelt and Bonifacio High Street malls respectively.
