Kilmainham Gaol is a former prison in Kilmainham, Dublin, Ireland. It is now a museum run by the Office of Public Works, an agency of the Government of Ireland. Many Irish revolutionaries, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, were imprisoned and executed in the prison by the orders of the UK Government.

For $20 you can get an awesome tour with a local guide! Book ahead if this piques your interest.

An obviously iconic spot that seems overdone but is really worth the trip!

You can wander around the charming campus of Trinity, which dates back to 1592 and boasts an impressive list of alumni including Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde and Jonathan Swift. The Front Square and Campanile are a delight, while the college also houses the modern Science Gallery, and the Douglas Hyde Gallery, with changing contemporary art exhibitions.

With a backstory that includes monks, Vikings and remote Scottish islands, the Book of Kells will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. This glorious Early Christian illuminated manuscript is quite simply a masterpiece. Located within Trinity College’s Treasury, the tour here includes a visit to the Long Room Library, one of Europe’s most magnificent libraries housing over 200,000 of Trinity’s oldest books.

You are very likely among the over 70 million people with Irish ancestry living outside Ireland! I hope tracing your roots and visiting Dublin will make you feel connected to your history.

This museum is devoted to telling stories of people who have left Ireland. Who are they? Where did they go? What did they do? The biggest question is, “Why did they leave?” EPIC answers this, often with restraint. If you look here for Ireland’s darker history of religious persecution and political oppression, you will find it, but it’s not front and center.

City centre shopping in George’s Street Arcade (Dublin 2), Ireland’s first purpose-built shopping centre, and one of Europe’s oldest city markets!

Located in the heart of Dublin city centre in the cultural quarter area it is less than 5 minutes walk from Grafton Street and Temple Bar and Trinity College is this enclosed Victorian market you can enjoy ‘independent’ boutique shops and stalls ranging from trendy often, vintage, clothing, jewellery, funky music, collectable items, souvenirs and much more along with wonderful dining and food options. This market has been serving Dublin since 1881!

Our tastings reflect the current food scene, bringing new international and contemporary tastes to the Irish table and all using great Irish produce. As you enjoy the food, you’ll also learn a little about the culture and history of our lively and charming city from your local guide. The meeting point for these walks vary as we explore the city and Dublin's districts within a stone's throw of the city centre. There are lots of tastings and lots of meetings as we stroll the city's small and very local gastronomic gems and neighbourhoods.

St Stephen’s Green Park is a historical park and garden, located in the centre of Dublin city.

Cared for by the Office of Public Works, the park is an important public resource in the area, and provides an oasis of green calm in the middle of a bustling city. Its four centuries of history are eventful and complex, involving such important figures as Arthur Guinness, 1st Baron Ardilaun, and Countess Constance Markievicz. The park itself hosts a large number of important sculptural monuments to Irish history. Many species of birds and plants also call the park their home. Public facilities at St Stephen’s Green Park include a playground and a garden for the visually impaired.

A great place for a picnic!

Designed by Ninian Niven in 1865, but with a history dating back over three hundred years, the Iveagh Gardens are located close to St Stephen’s Green Park in Dublin city centre.

From modest beginnings as an earl’s lawn, the gardens went on to host the splendour of the Dublin Exhibition Palace in 1865. Many of the original landscape features are still in place, or have been restored and conserved since 1995. These include the yew maze, the rosarium, and the fountains. The cascade in particular is a stunning spectacle in summer. Iveagh Gardens are popularly known as Dublin’s ‘Secret Garden’.
