"Dublin Zoo is an amazing 60 acres of park in the city transports families to the Arctic, the plains of Africa and Indian Rainforests before kids visit Pets’ Corner and the City Farm. Visit the website for details of opening hours, admission prices and family packages."

"A little trip away from Dublin City Centre, it’s the perfect romantic location for beach strolls or some sunset portraits. It has the tall grass, sea air and the iconic Poolbeg Towers as the quintessentially-Dublin backdrop!. A great spot for an engagement session, an elopement or a lovely portrait spot on a wedding day if you’re driving in from the south side."

"This is the perfect place to go to if you want to capture water and nature. Moreover, going to this beach is a very fun thing to do when you're in Dublin. So it's not only great for photography, but you'll also have an amazing day if you go here."

"St. Teresa’s Church in Dublin is a quaint church for the worshippers of Christianity. Located in Clarendon Street, this church has been serving the people of Dublin for over two centuries. Considered to be the busiest church in the whole of Dublin, this church is a haven of serenity amidst the bustling designer showrooms and market."

"Situated between Grafton Street and Clarendon Street, St. Teresa’s Church is a haven of peace amidst the bustle of Dublin’s city centre."

"One of the city’s most rewarding walks is the 800-meter stroll along the Great South Wall to the Poolbeg Lighthouse, that red tower visible in the middle of Dublin Bay. It’s best enjoyed around sunset on a clear day, when you’ll have a stunning view of the bay and the city behind you."

"The Great South Wall is one of Dublin’s most gorgeous coastal walks, the trail leads all the way out to Poolbeg Light House. This is a fantastic walk in the evening time as it is a great place to catch the sunset. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the lighthouse from the car park."

"Poolbeg Lighthouse is also one of the most Instagrammable places in Dublin. The lighthouse is an aid to navigation. It's a very photogenic place because of the beautiful red color."

"Nestled between two lakes, haunting Glendalough (Gleann dá Loch, meaning 'Valley of the Two Lakes') is one of the most significant monastic sites in Ireland and one of the loveliest spots in the country, centred on a 1000-year-old round tower, a ruined cathedral and the tiny church known as St Kevin's Kitchen. It was founded in the late 6th century by St Kevin, a bishop who established a monastery on the Upper Lake's southern shore and about whom there is much folklore."

"One of the most famous places to visit at Trinity College is the Trinity College Library to see the Book of Kells. The writing was complete in 800 AD, and it’s supposedly the oldest and most famous book in the world. The book has the four Gospels of the New Testament in Latin, which people come from all over the world to see."

"Another elusive punter on our list, No Name Bar's top floor has an outside part and an inside part, so you have your choice in the matter. They also do the most incredible cocktails and food that seriously hits the spot. Not bad for a bar with no name, eh?"

"A post shared by No Name Bar Dublin (@nonamebardublin) on Mar 22, 2015 at 4:57am PDT. It may not have a name, but this bar does come with all sorts of amusements to keep guests entertained. The comfy and cozy bar serves good food and great drinks."

"Spend an evening at one of Dublin’s most popular rooftop bars. This rooftop bar is open no matter the weather. They have large heated circus top coverings, so you will stay dry and warm no matter what."

"Ranging over four floors on the western edge of Temple Bar, this pub began flying the microbrewery flag over 10 years ago, and today it's still going strong. Come here for a range of excellent in-house Irish brews: from dark, velvety porters (try the Oyster Stout made, yes, with fresh oysters) to red ales (try the fruity Porterhouse Red). This place can be touristy and very packed: but still, well worth a visit."

"Porterhouse Central on Nassau Street is the 2nd Porterhouse location in Dublin. Thanks to being off Grafton Street just a little bit further from the heart of the nightlife action, it was much more chill than other pubs were on the same night I visited. I had the Celebration Stout, which had been created for the brewery’s 20th anniversary."

"This brewing gem opened the doors of its first branch in 1989 and hasn't looked back since. Sourcing some of the best beers from the continent as well as brewing their own, The Porterhouse now boasts five premises in Dublin, London and New York and their Plain Porter won the gold medal at the world brewing industry's most prestigious award last year. They brew an excellent stout in house, but offer a wide range of ales, lagers and seasonal beers to whet your appetite as well."

"There are a couple of Porterhouse brewpubs in the Dublin city centre. Their original Temple Bar location has been in operation since 1996. As is the case with most Temple Bar pubs, the’ve got live music every night of the week."
