Dublin is the capital city of Ireland, and it is a city rich in culture, beauty, and Irish history. You’ve come to the correct place if you’re looking for the greatest things to do in Dublin. We’ve been to Dublin several times and want to return this summer in 2022 when it will be our favourite European city. 

 

The Vikings founded Dubh Linn, which means “Black Pool,” on the banks of the river Liffey in 841. There are so many things to do in Dublin that even after five visits, we are still discovering new activities and attractions. So, here are some of our favourite locations to visit in Dublin

 

10 Wonderful Things in Dublin 

 

1. Temple Bar

 

One of the things you must do when in Dublin is visit the Temple Bar neighbourhood. Temple Pub is more than a pub; it’s a bustling neighbourhood on Dublin’s South Bank. It’s party time in town, and various pubs and clubs are ready to provide you with a fantastic time with live music and cold pints. The Dublin Pass provides access to many of Dublin’s leading tourist sites.

 

2. The Guinness Storehouse

 

When it comes to places to see in Dublin, the Guinness Storehouse ranks first. Twenty million people have visited the brewery and drank more than a pint or two. And it lives up to the expectations! Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease to operate his brewery at St. James’s Gate Brewery is located in the heart of Dublin. The Guinness factory, which spans 50 acres, is an important part of the city’s history. Visit the Guinness Storehouse using our step-by-step guide.

 

3. Guinness Academy

 

Upgrade your trip to the Guinness Academy, the ultimate Guinness Experience, where you will learn how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness in the Guinness bar and tasting room, while you are at the Guinness Storehouse. It is a must-do in Dublin. It will turn you into a Guinness connoisseur in pubs all around the world for the rest of your life! You can reserve this Guinness. Skip the queue and enjoy Viator’s Signature Experience with Tasting Tour.

 

4. The Jameson Whiskey Distillery

 

I know we’re talking a lot about drinking and pub culture, but that’s a big part of what Dublin is all about. Even if you aren’t a drinker, you’ll appreciate visiting Temple Bar, which is home to the Guinness Storage facility and the whisky distilleries in Dublin. There are several Irish whisky distilleries located throughout the country, with the Jameson Whisky Distillery serving as the origin of Irish Whisky dating back to 1780. This Dublin trip transports you back in time to witness the traditional processes of distilling Whisky. 

 

5. Ha’penny Bridge

 

The Ha’penny Bridge is a pedestrian bridge that connects the two banks of the Liffey River. The River Liffey runs through the city, and the Ha’penny Bridge has long been as one of Dublin’s must-see sites. This was the first bridge to span the River Liffey, uniting the city’s two sides. It cost half a penny to cross the bridge when it was first erected, hence the moniker Ha’penny Bridge. People used to cross the river on boats before this bridge was built, thus it was a huge game changer for life in Dublin.

 

6. Croke Park

 

If you’re seeking for adrenaline-pumping adventures in Dublin, the Kellogg’s Skyline Croke Park Adventure Experience may be for you. Croke Park is Europe’s third-largest stadium, and you may climb 44 metres (144 feet) for a bird’s eye perspective of the hurling pitch and magnificent panoramic city views. It is, in fact, Dublin’s highest open-air observation platform! You also get a behind-the-scenes look at the athlete lounges and private boxes, as well as access to the pitch. 

 

7. Gaelic Games Museum

 

Participating in Irish national sports is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in Irish culture! The Gaelic Games Museum at Croke Park offers a journey through the history of Gaelic games. It’s also one of those Dublin attractions that transports you back to your childhood. It’s also a lot of fun to learn about Gaelic Football and the national sport of Hurling in the immersive museum. Make sure to practise your abilities and learn how to play hurling. The museum is in Croke Park, where you can also watch a Hurling match!

 

8. Trinity College

 

This is a nice way to spend an afternoon if you’re seeking for things to do on your own in Dublin. It is Ireland’s oldest university and is in the city centre. It was in 1592. Follow in the footsteps of Trinity College alums such as Bram Stoker, WB Yeats, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, and Jonathan Swift. It is as one of the most beautiful university campuses in the world, and a stroll through the grounds is a must. We keep returning to the campus grounds, discovering something new. The historic structures, gardens, and monuments are all worth seeing.

 

9. Trinity College Library

 

Trinity College Library is well known as the home of the Book of Kells, but it is also Europe’s biggest vaulted library. My niece replied, “I’m not standing in queue to look at an old book,” yet it was one of the most fascinating locations to visit in Dublin. The Old Library itself is magnificent. 200,000 books are in the long chamber. Learn about Trinity College and other important sites on this Heritage Walking Tour. 

 

10. Book Of Kells

 

According to Ulster chronicles, the Book of Kells is the most valuable treasure in the Western world. It is a handwritten manuscript that contains magnificent images from the four gospels of the Bible. The Book of Kells was around 800 AD by a group of monks and buried in the ground to protect it from Viking raids. We know from knowing so much about the Vikings that they were not Christians, thus this would have been immediately.
