Ever wondered what it was like to book a flight with a long layover? This guide showcases how to maximize your travel days and where to have fun during a quick stopover. This guide includes a personal experience of a 17-hour layover in Dublin, Ireland. Details contain where we stayed, things to see, where to eat, and other local downtown highlights. Since we arrived in the late afternoon, we could not book a trip to Northern Ireland to see Giants Causeway (this is on our list for the next time we visit!) The best part of a long layover is having your checked bags sent to your final destination. With no large bags to drag around, it frees up your time and your hands to start exploring sooner. Check out this guide for a detailed trip recap that we hope inspires you to book a long layover on your next flight.
