Why choose Dublin for your road trip

Dublin — a city worth exploring

Dublin's Ha'penny Bridge has welcomed pedestrians across the River Liffey since 1816, making it one of the oldest cast-iron bridges in Ireland. The capital city blends centuries of literary heritage with a lively cultural scene, from the Book of Kells at Trinity College Dublin to the vast collections inside the National Museum of Ireland on Kildare Street. A walk through St Stephen's Green leads you into Georgian streetscapes, while the Guinness Storehouse at St James's Gate offers panoramic rooftop views across the city. Heading south, the Wicklow Mountains National Park sits just 35 km away, with winding roads through Glendalough's monastic valley. To the north, the historic town of Drogheda is roughly 48 km up the M1, opening the door to the Boyne Valley and Newgrange. Dublin's coastal stretch along Dublin Bay is well suited to campervan travel, with relatively flat roads and easy access to seaside villages like Howth and Dún Laoghaire. Motorhome drivers will find the M50 ring road a practical way to navigate around the city without entering the busy centre. Through Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners across Dublin, which means flexible pick-up points and a more personal start to your trip. Peer-to-peer sharing also gives you access to a wider range of vehicles, from compact campervans to fully equipped family setups, often at better value than traditional rental depots.

Best time to visit

Dublin is a rewarding destination throughout the year. June to September brings long daylight hours, ideal for exploring the coast by campervan. The city comes alive during Bloomsday on 16 June, celebrating James Joyce with readings and re-enactments across the city. In late September, Dublin Fringe Festival fills theatres and unusual venues with performances. Booking your motorhome through Yescapa during spring or early autumn often means more availability from local owners and competitive peer-to-peer pricing. Summer is the most popular season, so reserving a few weeks ahead is a smart move. Dublin's mild climate means even winter trips are comfortable for touring.

Dublin is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways

Dublin to Galway

170km west 3–6 days

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a motorhome or campervan in Dublin requires some planning, as the city centre has height and length restrictions on many car parks. Overnight parking in public spaces is generally not permitted without specific signage allowing it. The best approach is to use designated areas on the outskirts and travel into the centre by public transport. Dublin's Luas tram and DART rail lines connect outer parking areas to the city centre efficiently.

  • Red Cow Park & Ride, 10km southwest — Large car park connected to the Luas Red Line. Suitable for larger vehicles with open-air spaces. Direct tram access to the city centre in about 25 minutes.
  • Malahide Castle Car Park, 14km north — Spacious car park beside Malahide Castle grounds. Accommodates motorhomes during daytime visits. Close to Malahide village for supplies and the DART station for city access.
  • Dún Laoghaire Harbour Car Park, 12km southeast — Waterfront parking near the East Pier. Spaces can accommodate campervans. DART station within walking distance for quick trips into Dublin city centre.

Renting Gabriel’s van was honestly one of the best parts of my trip. The van has so much personality and charm — it felt cozy, reliable, and full of good energy from the moment I picked it up. I loved waking up in different places, making coffee with amazing views, and having the freedom to go wherever I wanted.Gabriel was amazing as well. Super kind, easygoing, and always available if I needed anything. He explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable straight away.This isn’t just a camper van, it’s an experience. You can tell it has been loved and cared for. I left with beautiful memories and would absolutely rent it again without hesitation.Thank you Gabriel for sharing your little home on wheels with me :)

Great experience renting with a child and a dog. Carina was an amazing host—always in touch and very supportive. She even met us before the payment to check if our larger car seat would fit the Isofix, and she welcomed our dog for free, even giving us a nice blanket for him.​The camper was in good condition. The only downside was having just one gas bottle instead of the usual two. It ran out unexpectedly at night, and since gas bottles were not available at the gas stations along our way, we couldn't get a replacement. As a result, we spent the last 2.5 days of our trip without heating or the stove. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!
