Exciting New Airbnb Feature Comes To Dublin
Airbnb has added Dublin to its list of cities by taking advantage of the site’s latest feature to improve the experience for travelers when visiting a new destination.
Airbnb’s recently launched Trips platform is the company’s latest development on its growing website and offers users a new ‘Experiences’ feature. This update will allow people to experience cities in a whole new light. Dublin has joined the list of 27 other cities to incorporate the latest functionality from global booking sites.
Visitors and locals can choose from up to 20 Dublin-based experiences when booking accommodation. Airbnb hopes “Experiences” will give users the chance to experience an authentic and unforgettable adventure, led by experts who know the city. The prices for these different experiences range from € 23 ($ 26) to € 134 ($ 150) per person.
