Places To Visit In Dublin
By:blueboy
One of the most popular capital cities to visit in Europe, Dublin has many attractions for a mixture of tastes. There are many bars and clubs and is a regular favourite destination for stag weekends and hen nights. There is much more to do and see however in Dublin and this article gives a number of must see places to visit before you leave.
I am from England and I love to visit different castles. I think my favourite is Warwick castle, however Dublin castle is also impressive and certainly worth a visit.
The castle formerly under British rule for around seven hundred years, was handed over to the Irish free state in 1922. There are many features of the castle including:
The throne room
The figure of justice
The chester beatty library and gallery
Garda siochana museum
Bermingham tower room
If you like museums, The National Museum Of Ireland would be worth a visit. This museum is in three different parts and in three different locations. The three areas covered are:
Archaeology and history at Kildare Street
The museum of natural history at Merrion Street
In Benburb Street, there is a wider collection including the countries military and political history
Some of the exhibits at the National Museum Of Ireland:
Fonthill vase
Irish Silver
Viking collection
The road to independence
Prehistoric Ireland
The National Gallery is my next recommended place to visit in Dublin. There are four wings to the gallery on four levels:
The Dargan Wing
The Milltown Wing
The Beit Wing
The Millenium Wing
This gallery has a collection of historic and present day art and is situated on Clare Street.
Pheonix park is apparently the largest city park in Europe and includes the famous Dublin Zoo. Other features include:
The pheonix monument
Ashtown Castle
People's garden
Papal cross
A little note of warning, it can be unsafe to visit this park when it becomes dark.
St Patrick's Cathedral is the Protestant Church of Ireland's national cathedral and is situated on St Patrick's Close. There are many features to the cathedral including:
Lady Chapel
The Boyle Monument
Minot Tower
South Aisle
The Guinness Stonehouse is my next recommendation. People always say to me, when in Ireland drink a pint or two of Guinness. This brewery has an interesting exhibition which includes the brewing process, the history of Guinness advertising and ends with a little tasting, a free pint!
There are many other places and buildings to visit and I hope you enjoy your stay in Dublin.
