On episode 35, Julie & Art take you to Dublin Ireland. We start an overview of 10 things to do in this Irish capital city to help you get the most out of being Dublin Tourists.
Planning Your Dublin Itinerary
Dublin offers a tremendous amount of choices for tourists. The city has museums, shopping, entertainment, churches, access to nature, and yes, pubs. We do recommend planning one to two key things to do on your daily itinerary. No matter your interests, Dublin surely provides many choices to entice your curiosity.
Travel Resources
We consulted Frommer's Dublin Day By Day travel guide for identifying specific attractions to include during our trip. The book was helpful to identify walking tours, museums, as well as providing days and times that specific places are open to visit. We recommend purchasing a book similar to this one when planning a longer trip.
This Dublin guide provides 19 Self-guided Tours, 39 Maps, and several day trips. You'll also find recommendations on the best live music and top kid attractions in the city. It's a great resource to help you experience the best of Dublin in the smartest, most time-efficient way.
- The best of Dublin in one, two, or three days
- Thematic tours for every interest, schedule, and taste
- Hundreds of evocative photos
- Bulleted maps that show you how to go from place to place
- Hotels, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife for all budgets
- A tear-resistant foldout map-enclosed in a handy plastic wallet you can also use for tickets and souvenirs
10 Things To Do in Dublin Ireland
This episode starts our journey of 10 ideas to occupy your time in Dublin. We start our experiences with the items one through three:
- Exploring the streets of Dublin - notable walking areas include Grafton Street, Henry Street and O'Connell Street. These streets offer shopping and you just might glimpse some local buskers. There is history to be seen as well. We discuss the Irish revolution and evidence of fighting that can be seen to this day at the Dublin General Post Office.
- Monuments and Statues - tourists and locals have an opportunity to honor and learn about famous Irish individuals who are commemorated in statues around the city. We touch on James Joyce and Daniel O'Connell among several examples you can see while touring Dublin. We also discuss some history about the Spire of London.
- National Museum of Ireland - We enjoy exploring at least one museum when visiting a new city. Ireland offers several museums. We take you to the Decorative Arts and History branch of the National Museum of Ireland.
And we have more things to do in Dublin, but you'll need to tune in to our upcoming episodes for the rest of the list.
