Dublin is also a great place for walking tours to explore various facets of the city, with the night-time “haunted walks” a particular favorite.

Dublin also has some exquisite architecture and statues, a famous marketplace, and beautiful city parks. Trinity college is a must for garden lovers, and also has an exhibition of the famous “Book of Kells.” The Book Of Kells is an illuminated religious manuscript that contains Celtic designs, and is a national treasure.

Give yourself at least three days in this great town.
