What to do in Dublin in January?
After the excitement of Christmas and New Year has passed, it’s easy to see why the term January blues is used so often. We’re feeling the financial impact of Christmas, New Year’s Resolutions are stopping us from enjoying the finer things and the weather isn’t great. At Aspect Hotel Park West we say, life is too short! Here are some great things to do in Dublin this January that will pick you up and make you excited for what’s to come this year.
Free things to do in Dublin
We all go a little overboard at Christmas, indulging ourselves and spoiling our families with extra special presents. If you’re feeling the pinch this January but still want to make the most of it, don’t worry – there is plenty to do in Dublin for free. If you’ve never been, the city has a great selection of national galleries and museums with the finest historical and artistic talent from Ireland and abroad. Ramble around the city and check out Richmond Barracks, The National Library, Trinity College and so many more fantastic spots all for free.
Shopping in Dublin
If you love a bargain, January is a great time to visit Dublin and take full advantage of the excellent shopping in the city and surroundings. Our Dublin City Shopping Guide will take you through the main spots for shopping in Dublin and to the fantastic Kildare Village. There you’ll find many top international designer names like Calvin Klein, Coach, DKNY, Furla, Hugo Boss and lots more at hugely discounted prices. A little closer to home, Liffey Valley Shopping Centre is less than five minutes door to door and has so many high street names that you’re sure to find a bargain, including the newest stores Zara and TK Maxx. They also have a top of the range cinema on-site, some fantastic dining options and unlimited free parking, perfect if you want to make a day of it.
Enjoy Dinner & Drinks in our new restaurant
Forget restricting your diet and alcohol this month, it’s tough enough to stay in good spirits while enduring dry January! If you fancy a delicious meal in gorgeous, newly refurbished surroundings, book a table in our restaurant in Aspect Hotel Park West. Our meals are freshly prepared by our talented team of chefs using only the finest locally sourced ingredients. We offer breakfast, lunch, dinner and a very special kids’ menu and cater to all dietary requirements. Don’t worry about Veganuary, we have plenty of options for veggies and vegans.
Enjoy the Great Outdoors
The weather may not be ideal but there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Wrap up well, pack a picnic and enjoy the best of the great outdoors while the weather is dry. The city has plenty of public parks, we’re a short drive from Phoenix Park, the biggest walled park in Europe, and there are lots of small urban gardens to explore. If you’re feeling adventurous, head to the Dublin coastline for a walk or hike along the sea-side and enjoy the fresh sea air. There are some daring enough to dip in the Irish Sea no matter the weather!
