Dublin ’ s Most Snappable

Christmas Scenes

Dublin is a place that has no qualms about embracing the Christmas season . Streets are decked out with adornments , garlands are strewn aplenty and early sunsets provide an ideal backdrop for the twinkling lights that illuminate our fair city . These festive scenes also make for top-notch pictures for photo-hounds on the lookout for that perfect shot .

The lights on Dublin ’ s iconic shopping stretches never fail to dazzle , perennially making for the perfect festive shots . Grafton Street ’ s stunning chandelier lights – designed by the same people who lit up the Eiffel Tower in Paris – are always guaranteed to add a touch of class to Yuletide photography .

This year is even more spectacular than usual thanks to Winter Lights Dublin City : a show so bright , it ’ ll be seen from planes landing at Dublin Airport ! Appearing in 13 iconic sites around town , 157,800 low-power LEDs , 100 tonnes of equipment and 15,780 metres of cable illuminate the city in a whole new way . Catch the enhanced displays on city streets and customised projections between sunset and 2am each night , and be one of the first to capture the sight for posterity .
