Discover Details:
Guinness Beer Museum
Make sure you try the Guinness Chocolate Mousse at the Gravity Bar. It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it! I regret not getting it sooner because it was a sweet end to my visit
Dublin Castle
National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology
Make sure to check out the Bog Bodies – they were my fav part. These exhibits are super well done and unique. Try to be there right when it opens at 10 AM to avoid the crowds and get the best view.
If you're on a budget, lunch in the cafe can be a bit pricey. Grab something from a nearby supermarket instead and have a picnic in Merrion Square Park after your visit. Trust me, it'll save you a few bucks.
I recommend downloading the museum's audio guide app before you go. It’s super handy and covers a lot of info that you won’t get from just looking at the exhibits. It’s easy to navigate and made my visit much more enriching!
Halfpenny Bridge
I suggest visiting early in the morning around 8 AM to avoid the crowds. It feels much more peaceful and you can snap some great pics without people blocking the view.
My tip is to wear comfortable shoes. You’ll likely end up walking around the area a lot more than you expect, so you don't want to be sore!
My advice is to take a turn off from the crowds and explore the little streets nearby. There are tons of charming little shops and cafes to check out
Rock of Cashel
Air Square
Kailmore Abbey
Newgrange
Powerscourt Estate
Pack a picnic! The gardens are super spacious, and there are nice spots to relax. Food options in the cafe can be pricey, so it’s a good way to save a few bucks.
If you’re into gardening, check out the plant shop. I found some rare plants there, and the prices were decent compared to my local garden center!
Wear comfy shoes! The pathways are lovely but can be quite uneven, and you'll want to explore every corner without worrying about your feet.
Malahide Castle
I recommend booking tickets online in advance to save a few euros; the on-site prices can be a bit steep.
There's a lovely café right on the grounds, but it can get crowded. I suggest visiting it right as it opens around 11 AM for a quieter experience
