Popular places to visit
Guinness Storehouse
A tour of this pint-shaped hall in a historic brewery provides an intoxicating journey through the making of Ireland’s signature drink.
Phoenix Park
Phoenix Park is so important to Dublin that it has its own law on the statute books and visitors should be aware that one provision of this is that “no person shall act contrary to public morality in the Park”. So watch your Ps and Qs!
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Explore this historic Gothic cathedral that stands beside the traditional well where legend says St. Patrick baptized converts.
Dublin Zoo
Dublin Zoo is not the only place in the city that you can take a walk on the wild side but it is probably the most popular. A firm favourite with families, the zoo attracts more than a million visitors every year, and they just keep coming.
Christ Church Cathedral
This massive building on St. Michael’s Hill in the city center is one of only two Protestant cathedrals in Dublin.
Kilmainham Gaol Historical Museum
This infamous and eerie former prison is a fitting place to hear the grisly story of Ireland’s punitive past and the struggle for independence from British rule.
