Howth Reviews
 Free tourist attraction by the sea Jul 06, 2008
As this is a free attraction it will be very welcome to most travellers I'm sure!
Howth is situated to the north of Dublin city and the Dublin Bay. If you fly in from Europe you will actually fly over it, and while we were there my youngest daughter found it necessary to comment on every plane that flew over... You can get to Howth by car, bus, or on the DART. I would recommend the latter as it will give you wonderful views across the bay and the station is very close to the harbour/marina. We were there on a Sunday and this meant there were Farmer's Markets at the harbour. There are about 40 stalls with fresh produce and some food stalls as well. Along the harbour there are fish shops where you can purchase the catch of the day. There are plenty of boast of course and some local seals visit the harbour in the hopes of being fed some fish. We saw about five of them up close, very exciting of course! There is also a grassy area and a playground, so the kids can run around a bit. There are a few restaurants too which serve mostly fish dishes of course! Some nice cliff walks around too if you feel so inclined. I would definitely recommend this as a nice free day outing!
