Dublin is the place to be on New Year’s Eve. In the past few years, it has gone from a night of celebration to a whole festival, lasting days with dozens of things to do for young and old. It’s not just about the fireworks at midnight but an open-air concert, street art and performances, comedy, music, traditional Irish shows and so much more. Celebrate the end of 2023 and the beginning of a brand new year in style this year at PREMIER SUITES serviced apartments in Dublin.
