The 35 Best Things to Do in Dublin
👉 Jump to: Best Things | Sites & Attractions | Food & Drink | Museums | Parks & Outdoors
Everything that makes the Emerald Isle so enchanting converges in Ireland’s capital city. I’m excited to share some of my personal favorites with you in this list of things to do in Dublin.
I’ve explored the city extensively for several months as part of my “research,” and also gotten an assist from our founder, Nate (who equally loves Dublin).
Oh, and if you’ve not yet booked your hotel, I’ve also got a detailed guide on where to stay in Dublin, which breaks down the city’s best areas and hotels. It’s worth a bookmark!
35 Best Things to Do in Dublin
Temple Bar
Wander Dublin’s most famous neighborhood and grab a pint (or three) in a pub.
Few areas of Dublin are as iconic as Temple Bar. This neighborhood in the city center is famous for its lively pubs. One of the most recognizable is the Temple Bar Pub with its distinctive red exterior. Stepping inside for a pint is a rite of passage for many tourists. If it’s crowded, never worry — there are many other similar pubs right nearby.
But there’s also more to Temple Bar than bars. One of the local landmarks, the Molly Malone statue, depicts the tragic heroine of one of Ireland’s most popular folk songs.
Temple Bar is the birthplace of an even more famous piece of music– Handel’s Messiah. Handel’s masterpiece was first performed at a music hall on Fishamble Street. Today, a plaque marks the spot where the performance took place.
Dive Into The Irish Music Scene
Experience the rich world of traditional Irish song and dance.
📍 Google Maps | Hours: Varies by location
A wide variety of watering holes throughout central Dublin are worth visiting for their brews and ballads. The iconic Temple Bar Pub features regular performances. O’Neil’s Pub & Kitchen combines good eats, cold drinks, and nightly live music.
Another personal favorite of mine is Pipers Corner, north of Temple Bar. This fine establishment often features the uilleann pipes, the smaller (and quieter!) Irish variant of the bagpipes. You can also learn more about Irish dances, and even learn a few moves from some popular tours dedicated to Irish dance.
Trinity College
Ireland’s oldest university houses cultural treasures and awe-inspiring architecture.

📍 Google Maps | Phone: + 353 1 896 2320 | Website | Hours: 9 am – 6 pm Mon-Fri; 9 am – 6:30 pm Sat; 9:30 am – 6 pm Sun | Entrance: €25.50+ | 👉 Book a Guided Tour of Trinity College & Dublin Castles
Dublin’s Trinity College is a gorgeous campus right in the center of the city (just make sure you navigate to one of the handful of entrances, then you can explore inside).
Plan an hour or so to visit the iconic Long Room of the Old Library. Its towering shelves have been emptied of the rare books that used to occupy them, but it’s still beautiful and a must-visit attraction.
Your ticket will also get you access to one of Ireland’s most priceless cultural treasures: The Book of Kells, which is on display before you head up to the Long Room. The delicate nature of the ancient tome makes all visitor photography forbidden.
While walking around the college is free, the Long Room and Book of Kells require time-entry tickets (and they do sell out). As one option, consider this guided tour that includes admission to all the key Trinity College sites.
EPIC – The Irish Emigration Museum
Explore immersive exhibits about Ireland’s global diaspora — a particular must-visit for visitors of Irish descent.
The museum gives you a “passport” you can stamp as you go through the exhibits

One of our personal favorites in Dublin is EPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum. Located right along the river in Custom House Quay in the Docklands, the museum’s exhibits explore Irish culture and its influence on the world through Ireland’s large diaspora of emigrants.
Want to learn more about your Irish roots? The museum’s Irish Family History Centre offers genealogy consultations that can help you reconnect with your ancestry.
Grafton Street
Shop for souvenirs and listen to street musicians along this historic walking street.
If you want to buy souvenirs, one of the best places to shop is Grafton Street. Here you can buy everything from traditional wool sweaters and caps to everyday conveniences. Many restaurants lie along or close to Grafton Street as well ranging from fast food to fine dining.
It’s also one of the best places in Dublin to hear live music. The local buskers (street musicians) play both traditional Irish music and more modern songs. If you’re a musician yourself, it may be tempting to try your hand at busking. You’ll need to obtain a permit from the Dublin City Council first. Even locals need to register, so don’t let it discourage you!
Walk or Cruise the River Liffey
This famous river bisects Dublin’s city core.
📍 Google Maps | 👉Book a River Cruise Sightseeing Tour
The river dividing the northern and southern areas of Dublin is an attraction in its own right. The River Liffey played an important role in Dublin’s history, connecting it to trade and other interactions with the outside world. Several of the bridges that span the river are also famous landmarks, including the Ha’Penny (a footbridge near Temple Bar) and the Samuel Beckett Bridge (a giant bridge that looks like a harp, near Docklands).
Taking a walk along the river is one of our favorite ways to explore Dublin. Or, for an even more special experience, book a river cruise tour.
Dublin Sites & Attractions
St. Patrick’s Cathedral
See one of the best examples of Gothic architecture in Ireland.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 453 9472 | Website | Hours: 9:30 am – 5 pm Mon – Fri; 9 am — 5 pm Sat; 9 am – 10:30 am & 1 pm – 2:30 pm Sun | Entrance: €11.50 Adult, €10 Student & Senior (60+), €5.50 Child (6 – 12) | 👉 Get St. Patrick’s Cathedral Tickets
Commissioned in 1191, Ireland’s largest cathedral serves as the country’s national cathedral. It was also one of the first Gothic-style churches in Ireland. St. Patrick’s may be smaller than the grand cathedrals on the continent, but it still holds its own for awe-inspiring beauty.
The grave of Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver’s Travels, lies beneath the southwest porch of the cathedral. Swift, along with being an author, served as the rector of the church, lending his choir to Handel’s first performance of Messiah.
Christ Church Cathedral
Listen to live medieval music in the lofty cathedral.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 677 8099 | Website | Hours: 9:30 am – 6 pm Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat; 9:30 am – 5:30 pm Tues & Thurs; 12:30 pm – 3 pm & 4:30 pm – 6 pm Sun | Entrance: €11.50 Adult, €9.50 Student & Senior, €3.50 Child (12 and under) | 👉 Book Admission to Christ Church Cathedral
Along with St. Patrick’s, Christ Church Cathedral serves as an administrative center for the Anglican Church of Ireland. Christ Church Cathedral predates St. Patrick’s, with its first building commissioned around 1028. Since then, the church has gone through several expansions, including the famous covered walkway.
The choir here is famous for its Evensong services featuring classical and medieval melodies. The cathedral also serves as a concert and event hall for secular music, featuring performances from The Dubliners and others.
Abbey Theatre
Take in a play at this famous Irish theater.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 878 7222 | Website | Hours: varies by show | Entrance: €25– 45
This theater served as a meeting place for many early modern Irish writers and playwrights. The current Abbey Theatre is the second building to bear the name. The original suffered severe fire damage in 1951 and the new theater opened its doors in 1966.
Today, it’s a great place to catch a play. Both modern plays and classics run here. The Abbey Theatre’s location in the city center puts it within walking distance of pubs and other popular tourist attractions.
O’Connell Street
The perfect place to begin a walking tour of Dublin.
This street running through the city center is full of historical sites and Dublin landmarks. If you go it on your own here, though, you may not be able to fully appreciate their significance. One of the best ways to avoid missing out is to book a walking tour. Local guides will unfold the rich history of the street and the events that transpired on it.
The street bears the name of Daniel O’Connell, one of the major leaders of the Irish independence movement. Some of the most significant events in Ireland’s history transpired on this street. One of the most famous was the Easter Uprising in 1916. During the conflict, the local post office building served as headquarters for the rebels.
The Dublin Portal
A fun digital art installation connecting Dublin to other global cities via live stream.
📍 Google Maps | Website
While you’re walking O’Connell Street, be sure to stop for a few minutes to check out the Dublin Portal. It’s a digital art installation created by Lithuanian artist Benediktas Gylys.
Originally, it connected Dublin to New York City, but that portal has since been moved to Philadelphia. There are also portals in a handful of other global cities. Wave and interact with the folks on the other side of the portal!
Glasnevin Cemetery
Witness the solemn dignity of Ireland’s national cemetery.
📍 Google Maps | Phone:+353 1 882 6500 | Website | Hours: 8 am – 6 pm everyday | Entrance: Free
The Glasnevin Cemetery serves as the final resting place for many famous figures in Irish history. Some of the most famous include Daniel O’Connell and other pioneers of Irish independence. Intricate Celtic crosses mark many of the graves. Locals, with their trademark dry humor, have long referred to the cemetery grounds as the “dead center” of Dublin.
The Glasnevin Cemetery Museum offers information on the interred for those wishing to trace their Irish roots to Dublin. Even if the idea of visiting a graveyard seems a little odd at first, this place is well worth seeing.
The National Botanic Gardens
“Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows.…”
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 804 0300 | Website | Hours: 9 am – 4:30 pm Mon-Fri, 10 am – 4:30 pm Sat & Sun (winter); 9 am – 5 pm Mon-Fri, 10 am – 6 pm Sat & Sun (summer) | Entrance: Free
One of Ireland’s most famous folk songs revolves around roses and one of the best places to see them is at the National Botanic Gardens. The gardens are right next to the Glasnevin Cemetery and make a great next stop after the graveyard.
The glasshouses here shelter a variety of plants from several different climates and this may well be the only place in Ireland with cacti! The Garden Tearoom offers refreshments along with views of the verdant grounds.
The Dublin Docklands
See the industrial side of Dublin in this seaside neighborhood (that’s recently become a tech hub).
Dublin’s Docklands neighborhood houses the more tech-forward side of the city but is still well worth a visit. The most iconic landmark here is the Samuel Beckett Bridge, built in the shape of a harp.
The Docklands is also a great place to see ferries (pun intended)! Ferry lines here connect Dublin to other parts of Ireland. International ferries travel to France and sites throughout the United Kingdom.
Snap a Photo at the St. Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre
It’s a relatively simple shopping mall, but the top floor offers cool Instagram shots.
📍 Google Maps | Hours: 8:30 am – 8 pm Mon-Thu, 8:30 am – 7 pm Fri & Sat, 11 am – 7 pm Sun
This next one is a bit of a personal favorite for us. Near the Grafton Street entrance to St. Stephen’s Green, you’ll find a relatively modest shopping mall. There are various shops and a museum about the Irish famine. But a key reason to go here is to snap a photo of the unique greenhouse-style roof.
It’s hardly a must-visit attraction, but it’s convenient to Grafton Street anyway, and the photos and videos you can get are really cool and unique!
Food & Drink
Sample Irish Food
Dublin offers great tastes of traditional Irish food and modern dishes as well!
📍 Google Maps | 👉 Book a City Center Food Tour with 8 Tastings & Drinks
Walking around Dublin builds an appetite. There’s no better way to refuel than with some hearty Irish favorites!
Many restaurants and pubs in Dublin offer such standbys as Irish stew and beef and Guinness pie. There are also chic establishments offering modern twists on traditional dishes. A great way to sample Dublin’s diverse culinary scene is by booking this highly rated food tour.
The Guinness Storehouse
Top off a tour here with a pint and the best views of town.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 408 4800 | Website | Hours: 10 am – 5 pm Mon-Fri, 9 am – 5 pm Sat, 9:30 am – 5 pm Sun | Entrance: varies by tour | 👉 Book the Guinness Storehouse Experience
But, what’s a session without a pint or two of “the black stuff?” The Guinness Storehouse shares the long history and meticulous brewing process of this preeminent porter. Displays range from breakdowns of the brewing to vintage advertisements. One of the most interesting artifacts on display is the 9000-year lease to the brewery site!
Book a Guinness Storehouse Experience tour to quench your curiosity about how Ireland’s most iconic beer is made. Tours here often conclude with a visit to the Gravity Bar on the 7th floor of the building. Here, you can pair panoramic views of Dublin with a frothy pint of Guinness. This is one of the best tours you can do in Ireland if you ask me.
The Jameson Distillery
Ireland’s other famous libation also offers tours and tastings.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 807 2355 | Website | Hours: 10:30 am – 6 pm Mon – Thu; 10 am – 7 pm Fri & Sat, 11:45 am – 6 pm Sun | Entrance: varies by tour | 👉 Signature Jameson Distillery Tour and Tasting
This famous Irish whiskey company began operations in the late 1700s. Though the actual production of whiskey later moved to County Cork, the old Jameson Distillery in Dublin preserves the story of this distinctive dram. Tour activities include blending your own whiskey, whiskey cocktail-making classes, and more.
For a real treat, book this popular Jameson Distillery & Guinness Storehouse combined guided tour and knock out two popular attractions in one go!
Irish Whiskey Museum
Learn all about the “water of life” at this museum.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 525 0970 | Website | Hours: 10 am – 7:30 pm Sun-Thurs, 10 am – 10 pm Fri & Sat | Entrance: varies by tour | 👉 Book a Irish Whiskey Museum Tour & Tasting
While Jameson made the spirit famous, whiskey’s history goes much further back than the 1700s. The Irish Whiskey Museum tells the story of the “water of life” (as its name means in Irish Gaelic) and offers tasting tours to boot. Other tour options include whiskey blending and food pairings.
Needless to say, the bar here offers a wide array of fine whiskeys. Visitors can buy a bottle of their favorite at the gift store. The coffee shop at the museum is a great place to sip on Ireland’s most famous cocktail: Irish coffee.
O’Donoghues
Tap your toes and wet your whistle in one of Dublin’s best pubs.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 660 7194 | Website | Hours: 10:30 am – 12 am Mon-Thu; 10:30 am – 1 am Fri & Sat; 12:30 pm – 12 am Sun | 👉 Stay in the Rooms Above O’Donoghues
This pub is one of my favorite places in all of Ireland! Fans of Irish music know that several famous bands, most notably The Dubliners, started out playing at O’Donoghues. Their portraits (along with those of other notable Irish musicians) adorn the walls here.
The pub sits a stone’s throw east of St. Stephen’s Green (more on that below). Despite its massive popularity, O’Donoghues retains that cozy, intimate feeling for which Irish pubs are famous. Even if Celtic music isn’t your cup of tea, it’s a great place for chatting with the locals.
The Brazen Head
Grab a pint at a historic pub that dates back to 1198 AD.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 679 5186 | Website | Hours: 12 pm–11:30 pm daily
How many pubs have you been to that are over 800 years old? The Brazen Head, one of Dublin’s most famous pubs, was established in 1198 and is still serving up pints of Guinness to this day. It’s popular with tourists, so be prepared to wait in line (particularly if you want dinner, which is worth the wait).
Museums
The National Museum of Ireland
Many of Ireland’s cultural treasures await visitors at this museum.

📍 Google Maps | Phone: (046) 942 2213 | Website | Hours: 9:45 am – 5:15 pm daily | Entrance (Self-Guided Tour): €8 Adult, €6 Student & Senior (60+), €4 Child (12 – 17) | 👉 Guided Tour of Trinity College & Dublin Castle
Ireland’s tenuous relationship with Great Britain is one of the major themes of Irish history. Dublin Castle played a prominent role in this relationship, serving as the seat of the British administration for over 700 years.
Much of the current infrastructure dates from the 1800s. Since 1938, Dublin Castle has served as the location for the inauguration of the Presidents of Ireland. The castle is almost always open to the public, except during important state functions.
The Chester Beatty Library
Pore over manuscripts from around the world at this museum.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 407 0750 | Website | Hours: 9:45 am – 5:30 pm Mon, Tue & Thu – Sat; 9:45 am – 8 pm Wed; 12 – 5:30 pm Sun (Closed Mondays Nov – Feb) | Entrance: Free
One of several attractions on the Dublin Castle grounds, this museum houses a motherlode of manuscripts. Besides Trinity College Library’s Book of Kells exhibit, this is the best place in Dublin for bibliophiles.
Collections here include illuminated manuscripts from Africa, Europe, and all across Asia. The Chester Beatty also conducts research on the various texts in its collection as well as the cultures that produced them.
Dublinia
Venture into the Viking-era in this museum dedicated to medieval Dublin!
📍Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 679 4611 | Website | Hours: 10 am – 4 pm daily | Entrance: €16 Adult, €15.50, Student, €15.50 Senior, €11.50 Child | 👉 Get Dublinia Tickets on Viator
For families and fans of medieval history, there are few places in Dublin as good as Dublinia. This museum tells the story of Dublin’s beginnings as a Viking settlement and development into the city we know today.
In addition to traditional exhibits, you can also try on traditional Viking attire and armor, and learn about all the different aspects of daily medieval life. The museum is connected to Christ Church Cathedral by the iconic walkway and you can climb to the top of the tower here for great views of the area.
The Little Museum of Dublin
Learn about everyday life at this charming museum.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 661 1000 | Website | Hours: 9:30 am – 5 pm daily, last entrance 4:30 pm | Entrance: €18 Adult, €16 Student, Senior, & Child (standard, varies by tour)
Castles, churches, and libraries attest to the past centuries of the city’s history. This museum, however, offers visitors a look back at the more recent decades of Dublin’s history. Started in 2011, the museum’s collection consists of over 5,000 vintage items donated by locals.
Here you can learn about everyday life in the city in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Little Museum of Dublin also operates tours outside its walls, such as a walking tour of town dedicated to Irish football (i.e. American soccer).
Parks & Outdoors
Phoenix Park
Take a stroll through Dublin’s largest city park.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 820 5800 | Website | Hours: open 24 hours
Phoenix Park is a great place to take a stroll amidst the verdure of the Emerald Isle. The park encompasses 2.73 square miles of territory, making it larger than New York’s Central Park! A herd of wild fallow deer lives within the territory of the park. Tempting as it may be, even if others are feeding them, Dublin city laws prohibit it.
The park’s name doesn’t come from the fabled bird of Greek mythology. Instead, it derives from an old Irish Gaelic word meaning “still or clear water.” The park began as a royal hunting park in 1662 but opened to the public in 1745.
The Dublin Zoo
Visit creatures from all over the world at Dublin’s zoo.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 474 8900 | Website | Hours: varies seasonally, see website | Entrance: see website
Located on the eastern end of Phoenix Park, the Dublin Zoo features creatures from as far away as Antarctica! The zoo also contributes to conservation efforts, sheltering several endangered species. The Dublin Zoo is a must for family vacations in Ireland or for anyone who loves animals.
St. Stephen’s Green
Meander through a park packed with memorials of some of Ireland’s best.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 475 7816 | Website | Hours: 7:30 am – dusk Mon-Sat; 9:30 am – dusk Sun
This park features several monuments honoring important people and events from Ireland’s rich history. Ireland’s most famous authors, such as James Joyce and W.B. Yeats have memorials at St. Stephen’s Green.
Another person remembered here in stone is Theobald Wolfe Tone, leader of an uprising against British Rule in 1798. Standing around his monument are the pillars of the Famine Memorial. These markers commemorate the infamous Great Famine of the mid-1800s.
Explore Georgian Doors
Go on an easter egg hunt for these brightly-colored doors.
Ok, this next one is a personal favorite …
Along with castles and cathedrals, Dublin’s collection of historic buildings features something a little more home-like. The bright colors of house doors throughout the city stand in brilliant contrast to the earth tones of brick, stone, and concrete. Merrion Square is one of the best places to see these distinctive doors.
Day Trip to The Wicklow Mountains
These low-lying mountains make for a perfect day trip destination.

If you want to venture outside the Dublin city limits, the Wicklow Mountains offer the perfect day trip destination! The rolling hills here abound with hiking trails and scenic vistas. One of the highlights is Glendalough, an old monastery site on the shores of a tranquil lake.
Film buffs will appreciate the irony that scenes from Braveheart were shot in the Wicklow Mountains (and a local studio near Dublin). Ireland’s favorable tax laws made it cheaper to film here.
If you don’t want to drive yourself, you can visit as part of this popular (and affordable) day trip tour from Dublin.
Day Trip to Kildare
Take a train ride to a cozy village with a long history.
If you ask me, you really haven’t seen Ireland if you haven’t visited a village. The village of Kildare, less than an hour by train from Dublin’s Heuston Station, is famous for being the home of St. Brigid, second only to St. Patrick in fame and influence on Ireland’s early medieval era. Today, a cathedral stands on the site of her convent.
The cathedral itself is worth seeing (open to visitors from May to September), but the cozy village that surrounds it is a great day trip destination also. Here, you can get away from the urban hubbub of Dublin and enjoy the laid-back pace of life that rural Ireland is famous for.
There are several snug cafes and cozy pubs to pass the time. A visitor’s center is open year-round, offering information about the long history of this tiny town and its famous founder.
Dublin Bay
Take in the views of Dublin’s scenic coastline.
📍 Google Maps | 👉 Kayak Past Seals in Dublin Bay
Dublin Bay is a great place to see the beauty of the Irish coastline. The Dublin Coastal Trail offers hikes and stunning views and is just a short ride from the city center. The coastal town of Dalkey has plenty of cozy pubs and restaurants to refuel at. One can also venture out into the ocean with kayak tours of Dublin Bay.
Croke Park
Watch a match of one of Ireland’s traditional sports at this stadium.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +353 1 819 2300 | Website | Hours: varies by event | Entrance: varies by event/seat | 👉 Take a Stadium Tour
There are some uniquely Celtic sports to see when you visit Dublin. Gaelic football resembles rugby but disallows tackling (among other, subtler differences). Gaelic handball may be more familiar to some simply as handball. Hurling is hard to compare with non-Celtic sports but might be best described as an elaborate variant of field hockey.
Croke Park serves as the primary field for these games. The Gaelic Athletic Association website offers information on the games, teams, and much more.
