The Best Places to Visit in Dublin
Guinness Storehouse
- For years, there's no escaping the Guinness Storehouse's power as Ireland's most-visited destination.
- This is a seven-story museum, not a working brewery (which is adjacent but off-limits).
- Spend some time in the advertising section, which features iconic old posters and inventive television commercials, and save some time for the grand finale: a pint of the black stuff in the Gravity Bar, which offers sweeping views of Dublin.
Famine Memorial
- Rowan Gillespie's seven bronze sculptures presented without fanfare serve as a stark reminder of the Great Irish Famine of the 1840s, with their thin visage and sad eyes.
- The potato blight decimated the population by a quarter as a million people perished and others emigrated, including those on Custom House Quay when the 'Perseverance' set sail for New York.
- A simple yet fitting monument to Ireland's darkest chapter.
Oscar Wilde Memorial Sculpture
- The statue of Molly Malone may receive all the attention.
- Still, Oscar Wilde, born in Dublin, is sitting on a rock in the northwest corner of Merrion Square, looking stylish in his smoking jacket made of British Columbian jade.
- Two pillars, one topped by a statue of his pregnant wife, Constance Lloyd, and the other by the muscly torso of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and ecstasy, are inscribed with his works next to them.
- Try to figure out which one attracts his attention.

Dublin Culture and Traditions
- Dublin's main draw has to be its people.
- They're why the city is frequently ranked as one of the friendliest in Europe - and the world.
- They're also at the heart of Dublin's distinctive nightlife, intense art scene, and numerous community activities.
- Dubliners are noted for their tongue-in-cheek comedy, which is well-intentioned but nasty.
- So be prepared for some gentle mocking when you're invited to the neighbourhood pub.
- With roughly 1.4 million people, Dublin is a relatively small city.
- Around 14% of the population is foreign-born, so you should feel welcome no matter where you're from.
- The city also boasts a fascinating past, with majestic architecture and internationally famous institutions.
- Picture-perfect Georgian townhouses, majestic Edwardian façades, and lovely Victorian parks may be found walking around the city centre.
- The city even has a museum within a museum. Dublin's 'Dead Zoo' of natural history hasn't altered much since Victorian times, with unusual taxidermy and massive whale skeletons.
