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 Spire of Dublin, officially titled the Monument of Light[1] (Irish: An Túr Solais), is a large, stainless steel, pin-like monument 121.2 meters in height, located on O'Connell Street in Dublin
Check out the interactive museum to the right hand side of the main area
3 levels and a scary drop. I do like the decompression chamber they put DJs in
So. Many. Tourists. Avoid this street on the weekends. Fun fact though, The first scene of Once was filmed here.
Walk from end to end in 20 minutes, stopping at the Spire for a photo. And after midnight, walk in the middle of the raised median to avoid scuffling with drunks.
The gallery houses 14,000 works, but the most famous is Caravaggio’s 17th century Taking Of Christ. It was discovered in a Dublin Jesuit house in 1993 where it was thought to be copy.
Bog men and vikings are pretty sweet! Definitely worth a look. You can cover this museum in an Irish hour no sweat
I love how old-fashioned it is. It's like visiting a museum one hundred years ago!
Check out the High Cross exhibition. Stunning setting.
This is where you should go if you wish to see some great moderns and contemporary art. Former Royal Hospital Kilmainham, this has great works by old masters such as Dürer, Goya, Rembrandt, etc.
The greenhouses are great. Watch out for the squirrels. They're not afraid of people at all - they will crawl on you!! :D
Go to the Zoo and follow the path closest to the lake. See all the monkeys first as they all live on their own little islands. Amazing. Leggi tutto.
This urban park is one of Ireland's best, and one of the biggest of its kind in Europe. Make sure to stop by the Magazine Fort, the 115-high Papal Cross, and the Ashtown Castle.
This was built in 1220 to honor the Patron Saint of Ireland, St Patricks. It stands next to a very famous wall where it is thought that St Patrick baptized people during his visit to Dublin.
This church was founded in by the Vikings then later re-built by the Anglo Normans. It is located in the heart of the former medieval Dublin.It also contains the largest Cathedral crypt in Britain&IRL
Go here if you're trying to avoid any sports coverage. Not a TV in sight and some very good tapas food.
Super cool bar in the basement...nice for Dublin to have something a little different. Try the Nipponia ale
Quite a historical site, and a few artefacts to look at. A must for any tourist interested in a little Irish history. Plus the staff is super friendly!
6 Nations Rugby matches are shown here live. There is a giant screen and TVs throughout the bar.
There are pubs and then there's O'Donoghues. You're always sure to have a bit of craic here
I love Indonesian food and this place exceeded my expectations. Some of the dishes are really, really tasty and very well prepared.
Great location, interesting interior not the best Italian food in town but nice all the same.
Don't know why it's classed as a diner. The humus is delicious! Although they don't give you enough bread with it.
The million dollar fries are amazing, taste like gratin dauphinois, but in fries... AWESOME!
Always make a trip here to check new stock in Wild Child, awesome vintage dresses and pieces. Simon's Place is great for city centre meet-up coffee Leggi tutto.
Go to the first floor and enjoy the Paradise, indulge yourself with a wonderful pair of shoes! Leggi tutto.

Not a wonderful location as it's next to a main road - however look beyond that and they have a great deli, gift shop and cafe
Delicious food and drinks, amazingly friendly staff. What's not to like?
Eat a main one with 2 salads! Try garlic potato salad! Its not expensive! Top vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Ireland!
TRAVEL TIP: Skip the tour and head straight to the bar! The whiskey tasting is the best part.
Careful with the horror chamber. That room almost gave me a heart attack
This is the theatre where U2 shot the performance portions of the "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" music video.

Try the Sunday concerts at noon each week. They're free and a great way to try out some new contemporary music in an incredible setting - truly magnificent room. Leggi tutto.
Go around the cliff, if you like to walk! Can get great vew and get hungry to try fresh fish!
Great shopping for women but just okay for men. Good selection of eateries in different areas.
Not the best cinema in Dublin but it's worth going to every once in a while because it's such an oldie.
The Custom House (Irish: Teach an Chustaim) is a neoclassical 18th century building in Dublin, Ireland which houses the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.

The Singapore Chow Mein is good but this place is best avoided after 3am when it gets really busy and really messy!
Pop into The People's Art Hall on the top floor, for some stunning paintings and artwork, at amazing prices!
Great events happening in here like the saturdays meat market and the movies at the square. Now its covered with huge umbrellas so the rain doesnt ruin them anymore.
