Dublin, Ireland

Things to do in Dublin

Everything in the Atlas for Dublin: places to see and things to do, in one list.

The Long Room, Trinity College

Sixty-five metres of oak barrel vault holding 200,000 of the library's oldest books, with the Book of Kells shown below it a page at a time.

Library · 1–2 hours

Kilmainham Gaol

Where the leaders of the 1916 Rising were held and shot. Guided entry only, and the tours sell out days ahead — which is the single most useful thing to know about visiting Dublin.

Monument · 2 hours

A real session, not a show

Musicians sit in a circle facing each other, not the room; the etiquette is quiet during tunes and buy the round.

Music & performance · low

This page exists because Dublin has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Dublin.
