Hotels for UEFA Euro 2028 — Dublin (Aviva Stadium)

UEFA Euro 2028 brings elite European football to Dublin's Aviva Stadium on June 9th. Where you stay will shape your match-day experience—from walking distance to the ground to commuting options that can add hours to your day.

The Aviva Stadium rose on the storied Lansdowne Road site in Ballsbridge in 2010, a sweeping glass-and-steel bowl that is home to both the Republic of Ireland football team and Irish rugby. In 2028 it takes on a landmark role as the only Euro 2028 venue outside Great Britain, carrying the Republic of Ireland's share of finals jointly hosted by four nations.

Dublin's schedule is among the fullest on offer: group-stage matches, a round-of-16 tie and, at the turn of the month, one of the tournament's four quarter-finals. It is a measure of how far the project has come, for the ground was stripped of its Euro 2020 fixtures when crowd guarantees could not be met during the pandemic, so a full Euros at last feels like unfinished business put right.

A knockout weekend will pour travelling support into the Georgian streets, Temple Bar and the pubs of the city centre, all a short DART ride or riverside walk from the ground, with the Guinness Storehouse and a famous live-music scene to fill the days between games.

Ireland's home of rugby and football, the Aviva Stadium rises above the Lansdowne Road area of leafy south Dublin, hosting internationals and major stadium concerts. The surrounding Ballsbridge district is genteel and green, with the Grand Canal and the city centre's pubs and restaurants a short distance away.

The DART commuter train stops at Lansdowne Road right beside the ground, linking along the coast and into the centre. Staying centrally keeps Dublin's nightlife close, with a quick DART ride out to the stadium.
