"Since construction completed in 1204, this original Celtic settlement structure has been in continuous use. Today, the city center enjoys a prominent location that is used for important conferences, events, and fine dining for the elite. If these walls could talk, they would spill secrets of invasions, espionage, famine, and the occasionally peaceful and wealthy rule."

"The next place on the list of best photo spots in Dublin is Dublin Castle. One of the most famous things to see in Dublin is Dublin Castle. It's a very large Irish government complex that's a must-see when you're in the city."

"First up is Kilmainham Gaol Museum. Once used as a prison, Kilmainham Gaol is now a museum run by the Irish government detailing some of the most courageous and most devastating events in Irish history. Imprisoned there were the Irish rebels accused of inciting many Irish rebellions, including the 1916 Easter Rising. It was at Kilmainham Gaol that the British put to death by firing squad many of the leaders of the 1916 Rising."

"For your chance to learn more about the foundational history that characterizes Dublin itself as both unforgettable and culturally rooted, you need to stop by The Little Museum of Dublin. A museum specifically dedicated to people of Dublin itself, the estate features a wide, rotating exhibition of displays and content, including artistic renderings and submissions from locals. The Irish Times went so far as to call the museum “Dublin’s Best Museum Experience,” and with the provision of onsite educational materials and a wide portfolio of guided, local tours sanctioned through the museum, it’s a wonder that more people don’t find the time to visit The Little Museum of Dublin!"

"A post shared by The Little Museum Of Dublin (@littlemuseumofdublin) on Nov 2, 2018 at 6:26am PDT.

"Visit The Little Museum of Dublin on St Stephen’s Green, in the heart of Dublin City. It is one of the city’s most charming and loved museums telling the fascinating story of Dublin. Experience the warmth of a real Irish welcome in a magnificent Georgian townhouse."

"Unexpected and splendid: the Chester Beatty Library, with its remarkable collections of Oriental, Islamic and Western art and books, is simply one of the finest museums in Ireland. This collection was gifted to the Irish State by Chester Beatty, an American mining magnate. The permanent 'Arts of the Book' and 'Sacred Traditions' exhibitions showcase the Library's treasures, which include Chinese jade books and Biblical papyri in state-of-the-art galleries; other exhibitions change regularly."

"Many of Dublin’s museums focus on Irish history or culture, but the lovely Chester Beatty Library has international collections of art and artifacts that offer a glimpse at global wonders. Best of all, the celebrated museum is absolutely free to visit. Set inside the gardens of Dublin Castle, the library and art exhibitions are considered some of the best in Ireland."

"Nestled behind Dublin Castle, the Chester Beatty is the only museum in Ireland to have won the European Museum of the Year award. Its vast collection of religious artifacts from across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa is unparalleled. Works from 2700 B.C."

"Ireland's most important collection of modern and contemporary Irish and international art is housed in the elegant, airy expanse of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, designed by Sir William Robinson and built between 1684 and 1687 as a retirement home for soldiers. It fulfilled this role until 1928, after which it languished for nearly 50 years until a 1980s restoration saw it come back to life as this wonderful repository of art."

"Out in Kilmainham, IMMA is worth a visit for the striking building and gardens alone. Contemporary art is spread throughout the former hospital, with free guided tours available too."

"The Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) houses a large collection of modern and contemporary art by both Irish and international artists."

"Although Jameson moved the bulk of their operations down to Midleton in Cork in the late 1900s, the distillery on Bow St. is still open to locals and tourists alike. This is the most visited whiskey tour in Dublin and its set inside the building that was opened by John Jameson way back in the late 1700s. If you fancy nipping in here, the tours contain whiskey tasting (of course), some storytelling and a complimentary drink at the very swanky JJ’s Bar."

"Empty Jameson bottle chandeliers hang from wooden rafters and illuminate the large bar of this whiskey emporium. Remodeled just in time for St. Patrick's Day in 2017, this historic distillery–turned-museum is an attraction for all whiskey lovers. The museum stands at the site of Jameson's original distillery, dating back to 1780, though the brand's major production now takes place in Cork."

"The garden features wooden picnic style tables and has a capacity of 138 for outdoor dining. Veronica Duggan, marketing manager for the pub, told Dublin Live: "We’re delighted to be able to reopen and our preparations are well under way for next Monday."

"the world's highest free-standing monument resembles a needle and is about as popular with locals as the sewers below O'Connell Street and the Spire. You know they're there, but you don’t stop and admire them. Only artists, architects, and non-Dubliners spare this steel column more than a passing glance."

"A regular meeting point for the locals (At 120metres high you can’t really miss it, can you?!). From the North, the south, the east or west, you’ll soon find a shot that you like!. The Spire is also known by a few other names… we’ll let you ask the locals what they are!"

"This 100 per cent vegan restaurant is owned by Moodley Manor, the company behind the vegan wings that you see everywhere these days. If you find yourself craving junk food from your previous life, like chicken burgers or loaded fries, then Beast Eatery is here to help you out. We've heard great things about the #VFC (vegan fried chick-hun), which regularly sells out."

"Walk-ins town or bookings, this southside beauty on Dublin's most famous roundabout will welcome all. Owner Gerry Mcgeough described it as "Dublin's favourite beer garden" telling Dublin Live "our team are ready and are looking forward to welcoming people back to the Heart of Walkinstown". He added: "We are busy with painting and cleaning and watering the flowers. We will have capacity for 30 in our garden and we are creating ancillary outdoor spaces to compliment the garden."

"Casual dining but top class food and service, Etto has a special place in our hearts. It's an exceptional dining experience with friendly staff, incredible food and delicious wine. It’s easy to see when you dine here why it’s so hard to get a table."

"Award-winning restaurant and wine bar that does contemporary versions of classic Italian cuisine. All the ingredients are fresh, the presentation is exquisite and the service is just right. Portions are small,..."

"Un etto, due etti, this eatery with an Italian inspired menu is absolutely sublime. The tasting menu is a great value for money, the service staff know their …"

"Unashamedly modern, recently extended and upgraded, and enjoying a delightful location on the edge of its namesake manicured park, the Herbert Park Hotel offers smart service, space, comfort, excellent facilities and lovely views in a tranquil and relaxed south Dublin setting."

"With five front units open seven days a week and over 25 stalls springing to life at the weekends, Howth Market is one of the focal points of this quaint seaside town and attracts locals just as much as those from further afield. Conveniently located beside the DART station, this market is perfect for browsing on a sunny day before heading along the cliff walk or onto the pier. Though the market sells a great mix of wares, from woodwork to antique jewellery, the food is the highlight."

"There are so many reasons to visit this picturesque northside village on the weekend. But the market is a good enough reason in its own right. You're likely to find an array of organic produce, freshly baked goods, jewellery, clothing, antiques and loads more when checking out this market."
