Excited to part all of my trip to Dublin today amongst y'all guys! You're nearly to meet exactly how much y'all tin post away exercise amongst 72 hours abroad (spoiler alert: it's a lot). I promise y'all enjoy!!
Where We Stayed: The Merrion Hotel
Looking dorsum on the trip, past times far i of my favorite things was our hotel. It was only stunning, welcoming, perfect in addition to the most ideal location for our fourth dimension there. You tin post away meet my total review HERE!
What We Did:
As I've mentioned, I spent a calendar week inward Dublin abroad inward college hence I had a faint recollection of the things nosotros did. I had hence much fun the firstly time, I wanted to exercise them over again amongst Andrew. To start from the beginning, nosotros took a cerise oculus from NYC (via Delta) to Dublin Th night. With the fourth dimension change, nosotros left around 9pm ET in addition to woke upward inward Dublin around 9am their time.
We didn't receive got a lot of fourth dimension at that topographic point (just a long weekend Fri to Monday) hence I knew getting inward early on would go petroleum but it would go the best for us to maximize our time. Thankfully the hotel allow us banking concern check inward early on hence nosotros got to shower in addition to accept a nap earlier our day.
Friday:
We walked around a lot on Friday, mainly around Grafton Street which had exactly nearly every store imaginable. There were a ton of restaurants, places to select handgrip of bites to consume in addition to was filled amongst lively music in addition to friendly people.
Saturday:
This was past times far our busiest day. I planed 3 back-to-back museum tours hence nosotros started early on in addition to went until around xi that night. H5N1 lot of drinking but hey... when inward Rome Dublin.
We started the hateful solar daytime off at the Kimainham Goal (make certain to majority your tickets inward advance!!) which is the largest unoccupied jail inward Europe. It was dwelling to a lot of people during the Irish Gaelic revolution in addition to the identify is exactly littered amongst stories. It's fascinating but I exercise want I knew to a greater extent than nearly Dublin's history hence I could genuinely sympathize the importance of the place.
Then nosotros hopped over (via taxi) to The Guinness Storehouse which was past times far my favorite business office of my college trip. I knew Andrew would beloved it also hence I purchased tickets inward advance (it helps if y'all don't desire to hold back around inward lines all day) in addition to nosotros spent nearly ii hours there. The storehouse is made for walking around in addition to learning every piffling matter nearly Guinness. They fifty-fifty encourage y'all to potable there! You acquire a complimentary potable amongst your ticket which y'all tin post away cash inward either to larn how to pour a proper pint (and acquire a certificate) or upward at their Gravity Bar which overlooks the entire city.
After dejeuner (more on that below) nosotros walked dorsum towards the metropolis along River Liffey. It had a ton of shops, places to consume in addition to seats along the H2O that made the whole experience hence charming in addition to a lot of fun! For certain i of the to a greater extent than iconic places inward Dublin!
We ended our hateful solar daytime at the Irish Whiskey Museum which was our absolute favorite matter nosotros did on the trip. I bought us tickets for the Whiskey Blending Experience which was a grouping of nearly 10 in addition to a really passionate (and extremely knowledgeable) guide. He told us nearly the history of Irish Gaelic Whiskey in addition to answered every unmarried enquiry nosotros had nearly whiskey inward general. At the destination of the tour, nosotros got to endeavor out 5 unlike whiskeys in addition to and hence blend our ain piffling bottle to accept home. We had the really best time!
(P.S. We didn't become to Jameson because it was closed but happened to stumble on the whiskey museum equally a replacement in addition to loved it!)
Sunday:
Woke upward early on in addition to hopped over to Trinity College in addition to the Book of Kells (which is located on Trinity's campus). The campus is complimentary to walk around in addition to really beautiful inward architecture piece the Book of Kells costs a few euro to meet (the business moves fast) in addition to has the famous library equally business office of the tour. This wasn't my favorite matter to exercise (it took us nearly 10 minutes to walk through it all) but I would advise it to anyone who mightiness go interested inward things similar that.
Then nosotros took the DART (their populace prepare system) out for a hateful solar daytime trip to a charming seaside town called Howth. You tin post away read all about our trip HERE but I would definitely recommend it if y'all receive got extra time. It's awesome to meet what to a greater extent than Republic of Ireland has to offering exterior of the city!
Where We Ate/Drank:
Friday:
For brunch on Fri morning time nosotros walked from our hotel to Hatch in addition to Sons for traditional Irish Gaelic food. It was a small-scale carte du jour but had a lot of smashing food. The identify was small-scale in addition to below street marking but it was extremely charming in addition to I would definitely become back.
For dinner nosotros ate at Coppinger Row which was absolutely AMAZING in addition to I shed a piffling tear exactly thinking nearly it. It was past times far the best dinner nosotros had there. They acquire genuinely busy for dinner in addition to don't accept reservations hence nosotros arrived early on in addition to ordered when the kitchen opened. It worked out for us because nosotros were already jet lagged in addition to an early on dinner was perfect!
Saturday: We didn't genuinely consume breakfast other than some snacks at the Guinness Storehouse. Their restaurants weren't opened upward when nosotros got at that topographic point but they did receive got a piffling bakery stand!
From the Storehouse, nosotros walked (about a 10 infinitesimal walk) over to The Brazen Head which is genuinely the oldest pub inward Republic of Ireland (dating dorsum to 1198). We enjoyed some fish in addition to chips amongst a Guinness although I want I would receive got ordered the Guinness Stew. It's what they are known for!
That nighttime nosotros decided to caput over to The Temple Bar for a potable in addition to some music. I don't holler back a lot from my college trip but I exercise holler back the nights nosotros spent at Temple Bar. That identify has a TON of unlike beers in addition to whiskeys to potable equally good equally awesome alive music in addition to a smashing atmosphere. I know it's touristy but it's honestly worth the hype! There are also a ton of smashing restaurants all around hence it's a expert identify to become for a nighttime out.
We went to Milano for dinner, which was a street corner away from Temple Bar. It's an Italian identify in addition to Andrew got pizza in addition to I got a pasta dish. The service was quick in addition to the nutrient was genuinely really good. It also wasn't really expensive hence genuinely it was a win-win all around!
Sunday:
On Dominicus nosotros had a traditional Irish Gaelic breakfast at the Merrion (our hotel) in addition to it was, of course, amazing. We ate all the nutrient in addition to left feeling really happy in addition to cook to start the day!
On our agency out to Howth nosotros (aka I made Andrew) stopped at a donut store called Offbeat Donut Co and it was honestly i of the best donuts I've had inward my life. They don't acquire to claim to go Dublin's finest donuts for nothing!
We had dejeuner on the pier inward Howth at a piffling identify called The Oar House. The seafood was amazing; life-changing-oysters amazing. But it wasn't our firstly choice. We wanted to become to Octopussy's for dejeuner but they had over an hr wait!
For dinner that nighttime nosotros ordered room service because nosotros didn't realize the metropolis closed downwardly at 5pm. We made the fault of getting hungry around 8p in addition to had null options but thankfully the room service at The Merrion was at that topographic point to salve the hateful solar daytime in addition to it was delicious.
And that was our trip! We left around xi on Mon morning time in addition to got dorsum into NYC around 3pm ET. It was overnice to all the same receive got most of the hateful solar daytime when nosotros got back. We had the best fourth dimension inward Dublin in addition to are hoping to become dorsum soon. Honestly, the tickets to Dublin via Delta were inexpensive considering it was an international flight. If nosotros become dorsum nosotros certainly desire to rent a auto in addition to drive around the countryside!
Have y'all always been to Dublin? What did I immature adult woman that I ask to know for adjacent time??
