 Or
for those who love all things equestrian why not try a day
at the races or head to an equestrian centre and ride out
yourself. Why not enjoy the excitement of the Nations Cup
at the Dublin Horse Show which takes place each August exhibiting
the best of equestrian riders from home and abroad?
While in Dublin why not enjoy a day horse racing at one of
the many courses around Dublin. Whether you are an occasional
racegoer , or racing is your passion you will enjoy your day
to the full and feel part of the fun, excitement, colour and
craic that is "Racing in Ireland".
If you prefer to get away from it all, and enjoy the countryside,
or if you'd like to stay in the city and get a little gentle
excercise, you could try a walking
tour. The beautiful Dublin-Wicklow Mountains offer
the rambler ample room to roam, while the city and coastal
walks offer less strenuous enjoyment.

or a fitness fanatic - will find everything in Dublin that
you could need!
