13th October 2016
With Tourism Ireland reporting its best ever January-August period and welcoming more than 6.55 million arrivals, there is no doubt that Dublin is the place to be – and the place to Airbnb. But what are visitors looking forward to in Dublin this Autumn?

Tourism Ireland reports that its Autumn campaign is “in full swing”, with aims to boost late-season travel to Ireland. One key event, attracting more overseas attendees than ever, is the Dublin City Marathon. Having moved to a Sunday date from the typical Bank Holiday Monday, the Marathon attracted an unprecedented overseas demand, and registration has closed early due to reaching capacity.
The Dublin City Marathon is not the only sporting event that attracts tourists rain or shine. Ireland boasts one of the top rugby teams in the world and fans flock from near and far to watch their nations compete against the boys in green. The Guinness Series 2016 sees teams from across the world take on the Irish squad at the Aviva stadium throughout November, with international supporters arriving in their droves. And although the Six Nations Rugby doesn’t begin until 2017, Airbnb hosts can expect a boost in bookings around the sale of tickets in November. Match weekends are likely to fill up fast, with guests seeking convenient locations for small and large groups for match season in Spring 2017.

Dublin is a city whose beauty is not lost as the summer months end. In fact, the city develops a special charm as the weather becomes cooler and visitors flock to warm up around pub fireplaces with a pint of Guinness – or to visit the Guinness Storehouse itself, which is Europe’s leading tourist attraction with 1.5 million visitors each year. With so much to look forward to, hosts can expect a continued interest in their property, even as summer comes to a close.
