DUBLIN TRAVEL GUIDE | Top 25 Things To Do In Dublin, Ireland

So this week we're excited to be exploring Dublin and we're planning to spend an entire week as we'll highlight 25 things to do around the city in this travel guide. Dublin is where most trips in Ireland begin, so before seeing the rest of the country, Audrey and I spent a whole week getting to know the capital. When the weather cooperated we walked around the city, toured Trinity College, and visited the botanical gardens, and when it poured rain as it often does in this part of the world, we just popped into a pub for some Irish stew and a pint of Guinness. The following video will show you a few of the different things to do in Dublin, Ireland.

25 things to do in Dublin Ireland | Top Attractions Travel Guide Video Transcript:

Trinity College was founded in 1592 and it is the oldest university in Ireland. The campus is open to visitors interested in touring the grounds, and you'll also get to hear some fascinating stories of famous students, including the likes of Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, and Bram Stoker.

The Guinness Storehouse is Dublin's most popular attraction, and it's a must-visit for beer lovers. The Storehouse covers seven floors surrounding a glass atrium shaped like a pint of Guinness. Inside you'll also find a copy of the 9,000 year lease signed by Arthur Guinness on the brewery site - they won't be going anywhere for a while!

Grafton Street is one of the main shopping areas in Dublin. You're likely to find lots of musicians, buskers, and performers along here, plus you get a good vantage point of The Spire.

Prior to the establishment of Glasnevin Cemetery, Irish Catholics had no place of their own to bury their dead. This burial ground gave both Irish Catholics and Protestants a place where they could give their dead dignified burial, and it has since become the resting place for people of all religions and non religions.

Experience Gaelic Games is a place where you can come and try traditional Irish sports like hurling and Gaelic football.

The Old Jameson Distillery is the original site where Jameson Irish Whiskey was distilled until 1971. It is now a visitor centre that offers both guided tours and whiskey tastings.

Temple Bar is an area known for its lively nightlife. Located on the southbank of the River Liffey, you'll find all sorts of pubs playing live music once the sun goes down. There's also one pub in Temple Bar, called The Temple Bar, but don't let that confuse you.

And that's a wrap for our time in Dublin! We hope you enjoyed this video and that it gave you a few ideas of what the city has to offer.

my dream county to travel.so beautiful place

[alanteer]

that was Henry street. not grafton Street!

Awesome video. 8 days condensed into 15 min. That was FAST! Dublin is wonderful, but don't spend all of your time there. Don't go to Los Angeles and assume all of America is like that. Outside of Dublin is a totally different slower relaxing experience. Rent a car, but don't ever expect to park anywhere in Dublin.

Samuel looks totally Irish if it wasn't for the Canadian accent he could blend in as a local.

The Brazen Head may be the oldest pub in Dublin, but Sean's Bar in Athlone is the oldest documented pub in Ireland (and possibly the world) by a long shot--dating back to the 10th century. There's only documentation of a pub on the site of the Brazen Head going back to the 17th century or so.

[SuperMichael]

one place that was missed that I enjoyed (and maybe it's further down in the comments idk) is the little museum of Dublin! it's near st stephen's green and has a lot of history of the pop culture of Dublin for the 19th and 20th century.

[Swampzoid]

I just got back from Dublin and Ireland. My favorite thing I did in Dublin was visiting the crypt under Christ Church. It was beautifully creepy.

"got a big gulp of cream" - that's what he said

[TheRarmart]

There is a whole a lot more to explore when you hop on a train to see Bray Head, Portmanock Beach, Harbor Howth...I cant even recall how many hours a day would walk in Dublin. Now i am in Calgary and scenery here is not even comparable. Thank you for such a warm video about this beautiful city.

Is Dublin handicap friendly as far as access to places and transportation?
