Things you must do in Dublin Ireland

Dublin has a lot of attractions which you will still blur even after a week choosing. Here are my suggestion on Dublin tourist destinations.

First is old Gaol.

The old Kilmainham Gaol is unarguably one of the star attractions in Dublin, and as a history buff taking a tour of this former prison it will be no doubt one of the best things you’ll do in Dublin.  You get chance to wander through various parts of the prison and see the cells where former Irish political leaders were imprisoned.

Second is Brazen Head, 20 Bridge Street.

When visiting Dublin you certainly cannot miss experiencing a night out at a local pub to soak in traditional Irish music. Dublin is naturally the pub capital of Ireland and home to great pubs such as the Merry Ploughboy Pub and The Irish House Party.
Brazen Head is the oldest pub in Dublin and the pub certainly does a great job at keeping alive old Irish traditions such as the storytelling. All of this, of course, while enjoying a traditional Irish dinner and live music.

Third is Temple Bar.

Temple Bar is home to charming shops, restaurants, old pubs, theaters, street buskers and interesting tourist sights such as the National Photographic Archive, the Irish Film Institute and Meetinghouse Square where free movies are shown during the summer time.
You can easily explore Temple Bar on foot in 2-3 hours. During your walk, be sure to stop by the Temple Bar or the Oliver St John Gogarty Pub to sample a lovely pint of Irish cider and a traditional Irish meal!

Fourth is Book of Kells.

The Book of Kells is located at the library of Trinity College and it’s without a doubt, one of the things you must do in Dublin Ireland. The Book of Kells is Ireland’s most treasured artifact and it’s truly one of the world’s greatest pieces of human craft ever produced. Words cannot really describe the impressiveness of this Celtic gospel manuscript.

Last but not least is book a Dublin sightseeing tour.

On your itinerary of Dublin, you definitely have to make time for a bus tour, river cruise and walking tour. The Dublin Bus tour costs around €18 and it’s a great way to see other tourist attractions in Dublin such as the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Zoo, Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Old Jameson Distillery, and the Government Buildings on Merrion Street.
