Thinking of popping the question this Christmas?
There are countless romantic settings around Dublin which won't involve splashing out on a fancy hotel room or a slap-up meal. Let's face it, the wedding itself is going to cost you an arm and a leg.
Make the most wonderful time of the year even more wonderful by getting down on one knee in any of these gorgeous settings around the city.
Your other half will be saying "yes" before you're even halfway through your over-rehearsed speech.
You're surrounded by the history of capital and it's the perfect location for the obligatory engagement selfie.

Staff have been known to go all out if you let them know beforehand.
It doesn't get more old-school or romantic than this. There are always a few waiting across from St. Stephen's Green or alternatively, click here.

A wonderful setting and you can head to any of the city's cosy pubs after to share the news.
Another spot with amazing views which will take their breath away before you get a chance to.
Not exactly Dublin but Bray is a short DART ride away.
If bae is a big Christmas fiend there's no better spot than Dublin's most Christmassy pub.
