A Visitors Guide to Dublin Ireland

You are going to Dublin, Ireland. Maybe it is your first trip or maybe you are a return visitor. Either way it is always a good idea to make a few travel plans before you pack your bags.

When you plan a trip to Dublin there are some things to keep in mind. The weather is always something to be prepared for. You will find that the weather in Dublin is always changing and it is certainly not something you can count on. Even in July and August when the weather is at its warmest it still does not get hot. If there is a warm and sunny day it is a good plan to have a jacket with you because it can turn cool, windy or even rainy in a very short amount of time.

There are many things to see and do in Dublin although there is not one main attraction. There are attractions on both sides of the River Liffey. One of these attractions is the Molly Malone statue. It is located at the bottom of Grafton Street.

The best shopping in Dublin is close to the Molly Malone Statue so you may want to see the statue and shop on the same day. The south side of the River Liffey is where the most popular museums are located as well. If you want to see a beautiful cathedral or two you will find them in this region, too.

Dont forget about the north side of the river. Here you will find a fascinating atmosphere on Henry Street and Moore Street. Tourists seem to enjoy this area and you can visit museums and find good places to eat. If you enjoy spending time in a park, you are in for a treat. The Phoenix Park is a great park and is actually larger than Hyde Park and Central Park.

One of the largest city parks in the world is located in Dublin. The Phoenix Park has 1730 acres and is bigger than both Central Park and Hyde Park.

Other places you may want to put on your itinerary are; the Dublin Castle, Merrion Square, Leinster House, the Dublin Writers Museum, and the National Gallery. The Guinness Brewery is also a popular stop as is Trinity College.

For those budget-minded travelers there are many things to do in Dublin that will allow you to stay on your budget. You can see a rather inexpensive movie in Dublin if you go to the theater before 6pm. For those who want a reasonably cheap way to travel throughout the city of Dublin, you can take the inter-city rail network. This network joins the north and south suburbs and there are several places of interest along the way.

If you enjoyed Phoenix Park you may want to visit one of the other parks in Dublin. Take your lunch along and head for the gardens in Dublin Castle or the Iveagh Gardens. St. Stephens Green is also a lovely place to picnic.

When the weather is nice there are several parks in Dublin besides Phoenix Park. You can pack up a nice picnic lunch and eat at St. Stephens Green, the gardens in Dublin Castle or the Iveagh Gardens.
