7 things to do in Dublin

Sometimes airfares can be so good from one European city that it’s actually a good idea to buy the tickets on offer even if the departure airport isn’t that close to your city. Dublin is one of these places because the Ireland’s capital can easily be reached from many European cities thanks to the cheap Ryanair campaign prices. Combining great airfares starting from Dublin (for example, we’ve had return tickets from Dublin to Macau for only 380 euros) and affordable tickets with low-cost carriers, you can have a wonderful trip, including both an exotic destination and Ireland. In this post, we’ll have a look at seven wonderful things to in Dublin once you get there.

Have a pint in an Irish pub!

Visit the Guinness factory!
If dark beer is your jam then visiting the factory is a must. Even if you are not the biggest fan of the beer the tours in the Guinness factory are fun, educational and really interesting. You can learn a lot about the history of Guinness and also a lot about how much detail is actually put into creating this world known beverage.

Kilmainham Gaol is a former prison built in 1796. This site has a huge importance in the struggle for Irish independence. The place is very popular and is visited by hordes of tourists each year. To make sure you are able to go buy your tickets in advance online.

Roam the streets in the evening!
The gloomy mood lighting of Dublin is enchanting all year. Just walking around and enjoying the noises, sights and smells of the evening are worth your time. Definitely visit the old town and walk along the river that runs through this interesting city.

Visit the countryside!
When visiting Dublin it is easy to take a day trip out of the city by a train. There are a lot of gorgeous places to visit. Going to the coast and into one of the fishing villages and walking on hiking trails next to the cliffs are sure to thrill you.

The St. Patricks day parade!
It takes palace on the 17th of March, so put it on your calendar. Green people will be everywhere. Lots of beer, crowds of singing and cheering people as well. The parade is crazy and definitely memorable.

See the Trinity college!
The oldest higher education facility in Ireland is beautiful and interesting and not only for the students. A walk around on the campus is especially nice in the early mornings when students haven’t filled the campus with noise and hurried walking. But if you like the vibe of a busy street, it is perfect to go there during the day.
