What is Dingle known for?
Dingle, a town located in the heart of County Kerry, is often referred to as the ‘Bohemian’ or ‘Artistic Capital’ of Ireland. Its narrow cobblestone streets are lined with charming cafes and colourful shops; it’s easy to see why visitors fall in love with this place.
The main draw for tourists visiting Dingle is its unique collection of pubs, also known as ‘hardware’ pubs. These pubs specialize in selling both pints of beer and wellington boots (rubber boots). This unusual combination has made these establishments beloved by locals and tourists alike.
Aside from its quirky hardware pubs, another big attraction for those wanting to experience Dingle is its incredible history. There is evidence of human settlements dating back to pre-Christian times and the surrounding landscape offers a glimpse into 6,000 years worth of cultural heritage.

With crashing waves, dramatic cliffs, salty winds and wide open skies, it’s not hard to see why so many people come here year after year. Whether you’re looking for an adventure or just a relaxed vacation by the sea, Dingle has something for everyone.
