I have a day and a half in Dublin. What are some must sees?

Question

Other than the Guinness brewery, Jameson, and the Temple Bar district ~ definitley going there...

What are some landmarks that I shouldn't miss (i.e. St. Michens Church, etc...)? Thanks!!

Answer 1

dublin city itself doesn't have alot of historical landmarks anymore. there is ONE district that they are kind of isolated to. alot of the rest of the city was damaged/destroyed in their civil war which was around the same time as the 1st world war. still, check out the Temple Bar area. Or you may want to find a pub called Porterhouse. Nice atmosphere, great beer. Michael Collins' favorite beer is sold there, called Wrasslers. there are about 7 malls in the downtown area, so i hope you like shopping.

Answer 2

I was going to say check out Temple Bar, but you're covered I see! I'd recommend going to see the Book of Kells in Trinity College, in the city centre. Enjoy your stay.

Answer 3

I'm not sure but dont leave  before you have a nice shepards pie from a locally own pub. YUMMM!!!

Answer 4

Hit about three *extra* pubs to sing some folk songs with the locals for me will ya?

Other than that, I have no idea.

Have fun!

Answer 5

I've never personally been to Dublin, But this site seemed to have a decent list of things to do. They rang in things, such as Bars, Colleges and Castles.

Hope you have fun!
