Only 16km (10 miles) west of Dublin, Lucan has a friendly village atmosphere of its own. Away from the noise of the city, you can walk along the scenic banks of the river Liffey, take in the local cultural and historical attractions, or enjoy some of the area’s many sporting and leisure facilities. Lucan is also conveniently located close to large shopping areas, and has a regular bus service into Dublin city. 

Because of Ireland’s small size, tourist attractions all over the country are easily accessible from the capital city. The other lively Irish cities and towns, the magnificent coastlines, lakes and mountains, the historical buildings and the ancient monuments are never more than a few hours’ journey away.

The most likeable capital of any European country, the coastal city of Dublin has unforgettable character and charm. See it once and you’ll want to come back. You can spend time looking at the sights – cathedrals, castles, museums of art and archaeology, and countless other pleasures such as a visit to the Guinness brewery – or just enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Dublin’s Georgian streets and old fashioned pubs.

Take in a play at the Abbey Theatre, and walk in the steps of many great Dubliners, writers and dramatists from Sheridan and Swift to George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, Brendan Behan, Samuel Beckett, Sean O’Casey, James Joyce and many others. Their native city will inspire you.
