Summer in Dublin is a great time to experience the city at a more relaxed pace, with longer evenings, busy streets, green parks and plenty of opportunities to spend time outdoors. If you want to explore the capital while staying somewhere a little quieter than the city centre, PREMIER SUITES Dublin Ballsbridge gives you a comfortable base in Dublin 4, close to some of the city’s best known venues, neighbourhoods and outdoor spaces.

Ballsbridge gives you the best of both sides of Dublin. You can spend the morning exploring the city centre, return to your apartment for a break and head back out for dinner, an event or an evening walk. With Herbert Park, Sandymount, the RDS and the Aviva Stadium nearby, there is also plenty to do without travelling far from your accommodation.

Enjoy Summer in Ballsbridge

One of the biggest benefits of staying in Ballsbridge during summer is having green space close to your accommodation.

Herbert Park is one of Dublin’s popular city parks and sits right in Ballsbridge. Its large green spaces, walking paths, gardens and pond make it an easy choice when the weather is good. You can pick up a coffee, go for a morning walk or find a spot on the grass and enjoy a slower start to your day. The park also hosts a food market on Sundays, giving you another reason to stay local for the morning.

Ballsbridge itself is also a pleasant area to explore on foot. You will find cafés, restaurants and pubs throughout the neighbourhood, while nearby Donnybrook, Baggot Street and Sandymount give you even more options for eating, drinking and exploring.

It is an ideal setup if you want your summer break to include plenty of Dublin without feeling like you need to spend every hour in the busiest parts of the city.

Take a Summer Walk to Sandymount

When the sun makes an appearance, head towards the coast.

Sandymount Strand is approximately 4 km southeast of Dublin city centre and is within easy reach of Ballsbridge. The promenade offers views across Dublin Bay towards Poolbeg Lighthouse, Howth and Dún Laoghaire.

A walk along the strand is a simple way to add something different to your Dublin trip. Take your time along the promenade, explore Sandymount village afterwards or stop for coffee before making your way back towards Ballsbridge.

If you are staying for several days, you can also use Dublin’s transport network to explore more of the coastline. The DART connects a number of coastal areas around Dublin, making places such as Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Howth possible options for a summer day out.

Explore Dublin City Centre

Of course, no summer stay in Dublin is complete without spending time in the city centre.

From Ballsbridge, you can make your way towards some of Dublin’s main shopping streets, cultural attractions and entertainment areas before returning to a quieter part of the city at the end of the day.

Spend a morning around Grafton Street before walking through St Stephen’s Green. Continue towards Trinity College or cross the River Liffey to explore more of the north side of the city. If you are visiting Dublin for the first time, attractions such as the Guinness Storehouse, Book of Kells and Dublin’s distilleries are also worth considering. Popular ticketed attractions can book up, particularly during busy periods, so planning ahead can make your day easier.

The longer summer evenings also give you more flexibility. You do not need to fit everything into the middle of the day. Have a relaxed morning at your apartment, head into Dublin for the afternoon and stay for dinner or drinks before returning to Ballsbridge.

Stay Close to the RDS and Aviva Stadium

Summer in Dublin often means events, concerts, matches and shows, and Ballsbridge is a convenient location when your visit revolves around something happening in Dublin 4.

PREMIER SUITES Dublin Ballsbridge is close to the RDS, one of Dublin’s major event venues. The property also offers a useful base for guests attending events in the surrounding area.

The Aviva Stadium is also nearby, making Ballsbridge a practical option when travelling to Dublin for a sporting event or concert.

Rather than making a long trip across the city after an event, you can stay within the local area and make more of your time in Dublin.

Make Your Dublin Stay Feel More Like Home

A summer city break does not have to mean spending every meal in a restaurant or returning to a standard hotel room every evening.

PREMIER SUITES Dublin Ballsbridge offers serviced accommodation with the extra space and facilities that can make a longer stay more comfortable.

Depending on the apartment you choose, you can have separate living and dining areas along with kitchen facilities. Studio Suites, One Bedroom Suites and Two Bedroom Suites include equipped kitchen facilities, giving you the option to prepare your own meals during your stay.

That flexibility works particularly well during summer. Pick up breakfast ingredients for the apartment, prepare lunch before heading out for the day or enjoy an evening in when you need a break from restaurants and busy streets.

If you are visiting with family or friends, having more room can also make a big difference. Two Bedroom Apartments can accommodate groups, while one and two bedroom options give you more space to settle in during your Dublin break.

A Dublin Base for Longer Summer Stays

Sometimes two nights in Dublin simply is not enough.

Staying for a few extra days gives you time to see more of the city without rushing between attractions. You can dedicate one day to Dublin city centre, another to the coast and another to exploring neighbourhoods such as Ballsbridge, Donnybrook and Sandymount.

A serviced apartment is particularly useful for these longer visits. Having your own kitchen, living space and room to settle in gives you more independence than you might get from traditional accommodation.

It also means you can build your days around what you actually feel like doing. Dublin weather can change, even during summer, so having a comfortable base gives you the freedom to adjust your plans without feeling like every minute of the trip needs to be scheduled.
