Best winter activities for group trip to Dublin

While visiting some destinations during the colder seasons is less than desirable, a trip to Dublin in winter is a great choice as there is so much to see and do.

If you’re coming with a group of people, you want to make sure you pick activities that cater to everyone, so be sure to take into account the age and size of your group and what different people are interested in

After a fun-filled day with family and friends, head back to your room at the O Callaghan Hotel Dublin and get cosy in your gorgeous suite. The winter weather is likely to have left you feeling chilly, so warm up with a hot bath and settle down for the night. Not feeling tired? Hit the town then, Dublin comes to life when the sun goes down.

Once you finally make your way out of the room, stroll back to your other room at the O Callaghan Hotel Dublin, which luckily doesn’t come with any hidden puzzles or surprises.
