by Camilla Nørager

Welcome to the charming capital and largest city of Ireland. Dublin is one of the most well-known cities, not only in Europe but in the whole world – and for very good reason!

The city is deeply rooted in their captivating history, culture, storytelling and, of course, booze! Be sure to engage with the Irish people on your visit, as they are known to be very warm and welcoming as well as enthusiastic and passionate.

What to experience

Dublin offers an endless number of attractions, museums and entertainments – there is something to do for everybody, and the options are countless!

The Guinness Storehouse Factory: this world-famous storehouse is located in the heart of St. James’ Gate Brewery. Fun fact; the interior is designed to look like a pint of Guinness. On the top floor, you will find the Gravity Bar where you can enjoy a 360-degree view over Dublin while drinking an ice-cold pint of Guinness.

The Temple Bar: let yourself loose and party like the Irish at one of the most iconic bars in Dublin. It is located in the heart of the city, and it has attracted visitors from all over the world for decades mainly due to its fascinating history.

The Spire: this monument, also known as the Monument of Light, towers 120 meters above the ground and is located in the center of O’Connell Street. External light sources in the tip of the Spire make it a beacon in the dark night sky.

Dublin Castle: this famous castle holds over 800 years of Irish memories. The incredible structure and architecture have held up through some of the most crucial events of Ireland’s history.

Phoenix Park: this enormous park is far from ordinary. It is located around 2 miles from downtown Dublin and is about 1700 acres. Apart from its huge green areas, the park contains a sports field, the Dublin Zoo, the Wellington Monument and both the Presidential and US Ambassador’s residences.

Where to stay
