Things to Do in Dublin

Ireland’s capital city, Dublin, is filled history. Museums, castles, cathedrals, and classic pubs fill the streets of this charming city. Find historic sites in the Old City, while Trinity College Area is home to green squares and college vibes. If you’re looking for the quaint shops and cafes, check out Temple Bar, which turns into the place to be after dark.

Bibliophiles will flock to the Old Library to see the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript from 800 AD. The National Museum of Ireland traces Irish history back to the country’s earliest days. Check out the Kilmainham Gaol, the city’s most famous jail. Of course, you can’t go to Dublin and not drink Guinness. Head to the Guinness Storehouse to try any of the famous Irish brews.

Dublin is often called “Europe’s most friendly city” and the people are witty and know how to have a good time.
