5 ways to celebrate an unprecedented New Year’s Eve in Dublin

Apologies for even uttering those cursed words.

Without overstating the glaringly obvious, I’ll just quickly say that your New Years’ Eve may not look quite the way it usually does this year.

However, if you’re still looking to mark it in some way and get 2022 off to the right start, there are loads of great ways to do just that in Dublin.

Enjoy the fireworks from a distance

Grab your nearest and nonisolating dearest and drive up to your favourite viewpoint, the Hellfire Club, Glencullen, wherever you fancy yourself – bring camping chairs, layers, and maybe a flask of something warming and watch the fireworks sparkle over Dublin city. Strong rom-com vibes.
