    Visited St Stephens Green while on holiday at a hotel nearby. Very well manicured. The center of the park truly separates one from the hustle and bustle of the city. Entrance to Grafton Street shopping district is at one corner of the Green.

    National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology is a must visit place if you haven't been here! This place is a real gem! I heard a lot of fascinating information about the Vikings and their ways of living. The overall experience was very positive and I would come here again!

    The area is very busy and worth passing through, but no need to plan to stay for hours...the bar itself is quite spirited.

    A treasure trove of religious writings, artifacts, etc! Absolutely stunning! This fellow didn’t just get a Guinness tee shirt on his travels! What a gift to have it here in Dublin!!

    Just at the edge of town sits this beautiful park, where deer roam freely. It’s quaint that the lights lining the street are gas lights. Check it out if you are in the area.

    If you enjoy shopping or street entertainers, Grafton Street will be a place you need to hit. There are a lot of high end stores on the street, and a few souvenir places as well. LOTS of people. But it's an easy walk and something you should see if you're in Dublin.

    Free entry with lots of things to see. There is also a cafe. I did the 11:30am Tour with Sarah Ward. She was lovely and presented us with a lot of information. Today we learned about painting restoration.

    The "Soldiers and Chiefs" gallery is not to be missed. Regrettably, the 20th-21st Century wing is closed for emergency building repairs, but the rest of the gallery is fabulous-- a well-balanced, and insightful, look into Ireland's military history.

    This collection of mostly early 20th Century art is well worth a visit. It’s right across from Parnell Square. Plan to spend at least an hour. Two would be better. It’s a shame Hugh Lane’s complete collection isn’t here in Dublin. But that’s the Brits for you!

    We walked through here on the way back to our hotel. It was hot that day and this park gave us not only shade, but a short cut. You could say it saved our lives. But really, it would be great to visit anytime. So much green grass, large trees and shrubs, plus the peacefulness you gain by not walking on the city streets. Walk through if you are in the neighborhood.

    My first time up in the Glencullen area of the Dublin Mountains, it’s so easy to miss things on your doorstep. Amazing views and super walks. Met some American tourists on their first visit to Ireland here and I was born in Dublin in the mid 50’s and only visiting today. Although in fairness I have probably visited more US states than them !!!! my favourite holiday destination.

    Cute bridge that we used after visiting the Temple Bar area. It's only a bridge, but it's still worth a visit.
