Ultimate Dublin Guide

Trinity College

“A must see, to stroll through the grounds and visit the Long Library (at an extra fee but totally worth it)”

Stephen's Green

“Amazing park, you can grab your coffee or ice cream and stroll, watch the ducks and seagulls (although don't have food, they are the best thieves).”

National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street

“Nice place and free of charge ”

Dublin Castle

“Castle is nice and their gardens even better. If you want to pay an additional fee, you can go inside the castle which looks like a palace”

Saint Patricks Cathedral

“There is an entrance fee of 8 Euro if you wish to go inside but even if you stay at the park, you can see plenty of it, no need in my opinion. There are some churches of similar architecture that are free of charge to visit.”

The Little Museum of Dublin

“This is sometimes closed due to renovation BUT if it happens to be open, pay a visit. It sums up Irish culture and is very interactive, you won't get bored”

Guinness Storehouse

“This is controversial. If you like beer, then it's a must see. It's on the pricier side but you get to pour your own pint and have a photo of you in it (on the foam) and you get to drink it on top of the factory overviewing Dublin.”

Jameson Distillery Bow St.

“A must see to every whiskey lover”

Fagans Bar and Restaurant

“Traditional pub divided in 2, food is pretty tasty and relatively cheap compared to touristy places. Sheperd's pie and seafood chowder is a must. Location is very convenient, relatively close to the airport. Tip: Please enter from the side road as the front is a small pub where only older people hang out🤣 ”

The Hairy Lemon

“If you want to experience an Irish pub in Temple bar area (but not the actual Temple bar), The Hairy Lemon is for you! Delicious food, great location (try the burgers)”

Ryleigh's Rooftop Steakhouse

“Now, this one is on the pricier side BUT has great view, cocktails and food! ”

Zakura Izakaya - Upper Baggot St

“Great sushi spot, you won't be disappointed!”

Mackenzie's

“Great location if you want to see Meta's HQ and Dublin's Silicon Valley. Their pancakes dish is to die for”

Thunder Road Cafe

“I know, it doesn't look promising but hear me out. The food is delish and skillet cookie is the reason I was coming back.”

The Lovely Food Company Drumcondra

“Great spot for brunch and coffee. Very close to Fagans too! ”

COSMO All You Can Eat World Buffet Restaurant | Dublin

“Buffet, a bit of everything and also great selection of sweets (chocolate fountain included)”

Yeeros Glasnevin

“Chose this mainly for the location as you can visit Botanic Gardens and Glasnevin Cemetery. Also it's next to Filo cafe ”

Kaph

“Great coffee and pastry selection. Very clean place with nice aesthetic”

Dolce Sicily

“Their sweets are veery tasty (and their italian hot choc too)”

Urban Brewing

“Yes, this is a bar/restaurant with a good selection of beers and wine BUT in the morning it serves great coffee (even freddo cappucino or freddo espresso)”

Filo Cafe

“Greek place with coffee and sweets so no further description needed ”

Howth

“It's around 20mins by train. You can do the cliff walk for great views, see the market every weekend and try some fish at the local restaurants ”

Dún Laoghaire

“Dun Laoghaire is very beautiful and has a food market every Sunday. ”

Wicklow Mountains

“Wicklow mountains are a picturesque area with lakes and great hiking trails”

Bray

“Bray is around 30 minutes away from Dublin by train (Dart) You can also hike from Bray to Greystones which is by the sea.”
