Talking of pubs – you’ll have to pick your pub of choice very carefully. the city is filled to the brim with wonderful watering holes – each with its own sometimes quirky character.

It’s been around since 1198 – they must be doing something right. Live music every night and a great Guinness and steak pie or Irish Mussels will set you up for an evening enjoying the ‘Craic’ (great conversation, laughter, gossip and entertainment).
Staying with the beer-themed approach no trip to Dublin would be complete without spending some time at its most popular tourist attraction – the Guinness Storehouse. its simply a deep dive into everything Guinness related and the obligatory drink in the Gravity Bar with its great views and fabulous restaurant on the floor below must be experienced.
Get a little more highbrow and pay a visit to the Dublin Writers Museum. This 18th-century mansion is a treasure of literary excellence. It has exhibitions about the life and times of such literary giants such as Joyce, Swift, Wilde, Beckett and Shaw.
