Couples Staycation

Sneak away in Dublin with the one you love.

Dublin is the perfect place to escape for the weekend. Whether you're on a vacation or STAY-cation, it’s a perfect place to fall in love all over again. Maybe that’s why Irish eyes are always smiling. Spend a night or a few days here and we’ll bet you leave with a little gleam in your eye!

Behold the allure of brunch.

Nothing says I love waking up next to you like a good brunch. La Chatelaine is a family-owned French Bakery and Bistro native to Columbus, Ohio since 1991. Share some Viennoiserie or Patisseries (see, even bread and desserts sound more romantic here) on the patio while sipping coffee as a couple. On the weekends, head to Bridge Park for brunch at Fado Pub & Kitchen or Urban Meyer's Pint House.

Cross the River

Find the most iconic piece of architecture in the city: The Dublin Link. This new pedestrian bridge connects Historic Dublin to the Bridge Park and is the longest single-tower, s-shaped suspension bridge in the world. Take in the scenic views as you cross the Scioto River - a landscape you won't soon forget. Pro-Tip: Wait just before sundown for the most romantic sunset view in the city.

Don’t want to be PINned down?

If you like to keep things more casual, PINS Mechanical combines old-school entertainment with new cocktails, craft beers and punch. Pick up a game of duckpin bowling or challenge your date to a ping-pong match. This all-in-one destination guarantees a good time and tons of Instagramable moments!

Explore new paths together.

Hayden Falls Park is just west of the Scioto River along Hayden Run Road and is the perfect place to hike or stroll hand-in-hand. The park includes a unique gorge habitat that only occurs along the western shore of the Scioto River. This ecosystem is home to a beautiful 35-foot waterfall and also rare and endangered plants. If you visit during nice weather, you might even catch a proposal!
