Dublin is one of the most common European destinations for a hen do. But why? It’s not a sun trap, you’re not surrounded by beautiful beaches, so what’s so special about it? To be honest – pretty much everything. Deemed one of Europe’s friendliest cities, Dublin has got everything any group needs in order to have a party that you will remember for the rest of your lives (even if the bits at the end of the night are slightly blurry!).
The city is hugely welcoming to groups and has a friendly atmosphere the likes of which you wouldn’t encounter in other large cities. Once you add that to the sheer amount of things to do and bars to visit, then it’s obvious why Dublin hen weekends are some of our most popular European options year after year.

Getting to Dublin from the mainland UK is easy. Eight airports around the country currently offer direct flights, and since these take a maximum of an hour and a half, and Dublin airport is less than half an hour from the city centre, you’ll find your total travel time is just a couple of hours. This leaves more time for drinking and entertaining yourselves once you are there.
With buses and trams being very well maintained and regular, you’ll find that getting around Dublin is an absolute cinch. No matter where you are going in the city, it’ll be easy to get to, meaning you have no hassle to deal with when it comes to transport.
Dublin is an absolute goldmine when it comes to activities that will keep you and the girls entertained all day and all night. One of the most popular activities of all is, of course, Cocktail Making. This traditional and very popular activity takes place right in the middle of Dublin’s famous Temple Bar area, which really adds to the experience.
Other popular options include Dance Classes, Life Drawing, Pamper Days and even Foreplay lessons (to name but a few). In other words, whatever you want to get up to, it’s easy to arrange and will be an absolute blast for you and the girls.
If you are a group who enjoys either beer or whiskey, then a trip to Dublin wouldn’t be complete without a visit to either the Guinness Storehouse or the Jameson Distillery – both of which are eye-opening and entertaining visits which also give you the chance to enjoy a drink or three. The last hugely popular activity I wanted to mention was a day at the races, especially if you are going for a posher style of hen do, because what’s better than getting your big hats on and watching some horse racing with a glass of bubbly in hand?
