Howth

With some of the best seafood in the country, this fishing village is a popular retreat for Dubliners and tourists alike.

About

Howth dates back to at least the Middle Ages, having been attacked by the Vikings around 819. The Irish and localized Norse forces of the isolated village held out against the invading Normans for 8 years, finally falling in 1177. In the following centuries, it developed into an important trading port, with a large harbour being built in the 19th century, and is now a seaside suburb of Dublin. Today, the charming town is one of the most popular destinations in the country, with many Dubliners coming here for fresh sea air, and even fresher seafood. Down on the harbour wall is the 19th century lighthouse, which provides a historic setting to watch the local fishermen go about their day, and maybe catch the seals play. Many visitors come here specifically to get out of town and explore the walking trails surrounding the town, with the 6-kilometer-long cliff walk offers an easy way to take in the rocky coast.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
