One of the most famous bars in all of Ireland, the 160 year old Temple Bar in Dublin!
Properly authentic tacos in Temple Bar. Open until 3am on the weekends AND super affordable? The dream.
Perfect for a Sunday afternoon if you like photography. Always worth a visit for an insight on the local artists. Free entrance
More than a farmers' market, this is a place to come and eat, to grab some seriously fresh Irish cheese, pesto and a loaf of bread baked that morning and sit along the Liffey for a picnic. Read more.
Perfect for those of us who want a quick, delicious breakfast for only a few Euros.
In my opinion, you should come here before going to Saint Patrick's. The crypt is an amazing thing to see.
You can only see the inside of the castle if you go on a guided tour. The wait is usually 30 minutes or so... if you're not interested in the tour, I still suggest going to see the outside.
The gardens are designed as an helicopter landing pad, with a pattern of interlocking brick pathways (inspired by Celtic design) that are distinctive from air. In other words : awesome !
Go here for the best burrito in Dublin. The slim, without rice, was more than enough for me at lunchtime
When you're done shopping, go up to the very top floor, out into the car park. The view of the city is wonderful.
Inside the north west corner of Merrion Square, there is a statue of Oscar Wilde composed of different coloured stone, sitting on a large granite boulder.
St Stephen's Green is a largest city centre public park in Dublin. The park is adjacent to one of Dublin's main shopping streets, Grafton Street, and to a shopping centre named for it.
The best designed bridge in Dublin. Great place to take photos, especially in the evening.
The old dirty river that separates the north siders to the south siders ! Great views of the bridges during golden hours.
Cafe during the day, bar in the evening, also serving food. Hidden gem and large space good for meeting with big groups as well. Good choice of different coffees
This street is heart of the city! Here stops most of the bus lines! Great meeting & location point! Around the street you find great shops and food spots!
Steeped in history. Go visit, it's very special... They have historical tours here. I haven't been on them BUT this was where Ireland declared independence and it resulted in one hell of a shootout
Try the beer tasting plate if you're not too sure! Staff are always helpful, great bar!
When the sun is out & tide is near & sea is calm, sit on one of the benches & look out. Listen to yourself breathe. Do this for 3 minutes, ignoring everything else around you. This is Serenity.
Fantastic park in South Dublin, very peaceful. Take some bread and don't forget swans, they are always famished
Take the bus to the summit to discover the typical Irish coast scenery with an one-hour walk along the cliffs down to the village. Only 45 min away from Dublin but so refreshing! Delfin approved ;)
Breathtaking view! Take the 31 bus here be then walk down the cliff walk to the lovely fishing coast and take the dart. 1,5 hours. Careful to not get stuck on a route around the whole island- 3-5 hrs!
One of the biggest parks in the world, this is place were you can get lost and enjoy nature for hours!
It is impossible to ignore the ghosts of history that haunt this notorious prison, but perhaps the most evocative space is the courtyard where the leaders of the 1916 Rising were executed.
Try to get their early in the morning, it is the most visited attraction in Ireland and you would be amazed how quickly it fills up! - my fav part is looking out over the city while having a pint :)
Always a good place to hang out, grab some food, get some groceries, see a movie, and if you have the funds: shopping!
Great harbour, restuarants and very family friendly. Easy access to buses and the dart (train) - have stayed at the Royal Marine Hotel several times and would highly recommend it.
