The internationally best-known area for nightlife is the Temple Bar area just south of the River Liffey. To some extent, the area has become a hot spot for tourists, including stag and hen parties from Britain. It was developed as Dublin's cultural quarter (an idea proposed by local politician Charlie Haughey), and does retain this spirit as a centre for small arts productions, photographic and artists' studios, and in the form of street performers and intimate small music venues.

Dublin Airport or Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath in Irish, is operated by the Dublin Airport Authority. Located in Collinstown, in the Fingal part of County Dublin, it is by far the busiest airport in Ireland. The County of Fingal (Irish: Contae Fhine Gall, meaning County of the Foreign Tribe) is a county in Ireland. It was formed from part of the historic County Dublin. In 1936 the Irish Government established a new civil airline, Aer Lingus, which began operating from the military aerodrome, Casement Aerodrome, at Baldonnel to the south of Dublin. However, the decision was made that a civil airport should replace Baldonnel as the city's airport. Collinstown, to the north of Dublin, was selected as the location for the new civil aerodrome. Collinstown's first association with aviation was as a British military air base during World War I, but had been unused since 1922. Construction of the new airport began in 1937. By the end of 1939 a grass airfield surface, internal roads, car parks and electrical power and lighting were set up. The inaugural flight from Dublin took place on 19 January 1940 to Liverpool. In 1940 work began on a new airport terminal building.

The headquarters of almost all of Ireland's sporting organisations are in Dublin, and the most popular sports in Dublin are those that are most popular throughout Ireland: Gaelic football, soccer, rugby union and hurling.

Dublin is a popular shopping spot for both Irish people and tourists. Dublin city centre has several shopping districts, including Grafton Street, Henry Street, Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, Jervis Shopping Centre, and the newly refurbished Ilac Shopping Centre (all popular meeting-places for decades).

A north-south division has traditionally existed in Dublin for some time, with the dividing line being the River Liffey. The Northside is traditionally seen by some as working-class (with the exception of a few suburbs) while the Southside is seen as middle and upper middle class (again, with the exception of a few suburbs). Historically, since much trade came in by ship on the river Liffey and docked on the North bank, this resulted in dockers and associated labourers making their homes on the Northside while the wealthier merchants and other professionals tended to make their offices and homes on the Southside. Over the intervening years, the Northside/Southside divide became less pronounced and today, this divide arguably does not exist. A noted theory on the division dates back some centuries, certainly to the point when the Earl of Kildare built his residence on the then less-regarded Southside. When asked why he was building on the Southside, he replied "Where I go, fashion follows me", and he was promptly followed by most other Irish peers.

Casement Aerodrome (Irish: Aeradróm Mhic Easmainn) or Baldonnel Aerodrome is an airfield to the south west of Dublin, Ireland situated off the N7 main road route to the south and south west. Currently in use by the Irish Air Corps, and for other government purposes and is the property of the Department of Defence. It has been suggested in the past that it be used as a second commercial airport for Dublin, especially for low-cost carriers such as Ryanair. No firm proposals yet exist for its privatisation or use for commercial purposes. Casement experiences less fog than Dublin Airport. Snowdrifts have been experienced here in winters during the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. The strength of the wind, when coming from a south-westerly direction, is stronger than in other areas near Dublin because of the location of this station in relation to the Dublin Mountains. The airport opened in 1922 and was originally run by 2 pilots from the Royal Air Force. The airfield was the one from which the first successful east-west Atlantic crossing by an Junkers W33 aeroplane, the Bremen, took off on 12 April 1928

Weston Airport or Aerphort Weston in Irish, is a private executive airport located on the R403 regional road at Leixlip, County Kildare 13km west of Dublin, in Ireland. Its traffic is primarily business charters as well as private and commercial training.
