Dublin
Popular places to visit
Guinness Storehouse
A tour of this pint-shaped hall in a historic brewery provides an intoxicating journey through the making of Ireland’s signature drink.
Phoenix Park
Phoenix Park is so important to Dublin that it has its own law on the statute books and visitors should be aware that one provision of this is that “no person shall act contrary to public morality in the Park”. So watch your Ps and Qs!
Dublin Zoo
Dublin Zoo is not the only place in the city that you can take a walk on the wild side but it is probably the most popular. A firm favourite with families, the zoo attracts more than a million visitors every year, and they just keep coming.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Explore this historic Gothic cathedral that stands beside the traditional well where legend says St. Patrick baptized converts.
Christ Church Cathedral
This massive building on St. Michael’s Hill in the city center is one of only two Protestant cathedrals in Dublin.
Kilmainham Gaol Historical Museum
This infamous and eerie former prison is a fitting place to hear the grisly story of Ireland’s punitive past and the struggle for independence from British rule.

Ashling Hotel Dublin
This is our 2nd stay at the Ashling Hotel. We like the location being close to Heuston train station as well as the trams. Breakfast buffet had lots of options. Our room was ready when we checked in early and the staff made us feel welcomed.
