Whether you are just here for the weekend or taking a longer trip, we hope you have the chance to explore! We have put together a list of our favorite things to do when we lived in Dublin, but you cannot go wrong!

-The National Museum's are all free to the public! The National Gallery, Natural History, and Archeology Museums are all lovely.

-The Guinness Store House: book your tour in advanced to ensure entry. It is more of a museum than a brewery tour but is great fun, and ends with free pints in their rooftop bar!

-The Jameson Distillery: book your tour in advanced to ensure entry. This interactive tour is a great way to learn more about whiskey. They also offer tastings and cocktail making classes.

-Cliff walk at Howth: if you choose to stay in Dublin but want to see some cliffs, Howth is a small fishing village just under 40 minutes outside the city on the DART. You can walk along the cliffs, get ice cream, fish n' chips, or pints!

-The Whiskey Museum

-The Trinity Library and Book of Kells: Trinity is right in the city center and a beautiful school to stroll through! The trinity library is beautiful and historic, and the home of the Book of Kells!

-Shop on Grafton Street and walk through St. Stevens Green: Grafton is the best place to see buskers and street performers. After you shop, walk through Stevens Green - a beautiful park!

-Temple Bar Area- The Temple Bar is Dublins most famous (great photo-op spot), and the street it is on is full of pubs and shops. Do know this area is geared toward tourist, so you may end up paying slightly higher prices.

-Phoenix Park: located on the edge of the city center, it is one of the largest city parks in Europe! In the park you can rent bikes, visit the Dublin Zoo, see the presidents home, or try to find the heard of Tiny deer that live there!

-St Patricks Cathedral

-The Emigration Museum learn about all the famous people you did/didn't know were Irish, and their impact on the world!

There is no shortage of Pubs and Pints in Dublin! All are lovely, these are just our personal favorites.

-O'Donoghues: They have 2 locations but the one on Merrion Row is our very favorite! Here you can always find a friendly crowed and often live music.

-Doyles: located across the street from Trinity. If you happen to be in Dublin on Tuesday night, they do small concerts called "Ruby Sessions" that are worth checking out.

-Hairy Lemon: Located just off of Grafton street. This pub is a little pricier, but is a good place for a meal and live music.

-Brazen Head: Famous for being the oldest pub in Dublin!

-The Landmark: Located on the end of Camden St, which is full of great pubs, the Landmark is a great stop whether you are pub crawling or staying all night.

-The Bleeding Horse: A bit of a larger pub if you are looking for a bit more elbow room!

For those who may be interested in later nights, louder music, and livelier crowds our recommendations are below.

-Dicey's Garden: Mark and Cali could be found here every Monday night in 2019. Dance inside, or enjoy their heated patio! Dicey's does often have a cover charge.

-Copperface Jacks: This is the true nightclub of Dublin. Located next door to Diceys on Harcourt street.

-Flannery's: This is our favorite! They always have either live music or a DJ making it a fun place to go dancing. Located on Camden street, Flannery's is also ideally positioned for late night food ;)

-DTwos: Also on Harcourt St, DTwos has a nice indoor bar, a very unique beer garden, and a downstairs nightclub.

-Wow Burger: With locations all over the city and late night hours, finish off your night out with their famous garlic fries!

If you have the time, we hope you explore Ireland! It is a beautiful country, and there is so much to see whether you choose to do a day trip or stay in another town.

Paddywagon Tours are a great way to see the country if you are staying in Dublin. They offer a range of full day or half day bus trips to some of the most popular places like Galway/The Cliffs of Moher, Belfast/Giants Causeway, Cork, or the Wicklow Mountains! If you want a more personalized or private tour, we recommend Elegant Irish Tours.

Dublin is relatively small and flat city, so it is very walkable! Additionally you can take Ubers, Taxis, or Busses around the city. You can get a Visitor Leap Card for unlimited access to public transit during your stay.

You can easily get taxis or ubers from the airport, or book on the Aircoach shuttle to get into the city. It usually takes 25-30 minutes to get to and from the airport if you go direct and 45-60 via shuttle.

Shuttles will be provided for guests on Saturday! Specific pick up times and locations will be posted at a later date, and will also be posted at the Welcome party on Friday!
