You've probably heard that Guinness tastes better in Dublin (fresh from the factory), but what you may not know is that Dublin is a perfect destination for the whole family. No, we're not suggesting you let the kiddies drink a pint. Instead, take them to the Dublin Zoo, to feed the ducks in Stephen's Green or on a picnic in Phoenix Park. Scholars enjoy walking in the literary footsteps of such writers as Yeats and Joyce, while discerning shoppers have their pick of designer boutiques.

The Abbey Theatre's founders W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory had the vision to 'bring upon the stage the deeper thoughts and emotions of Ireland'. Our ambitious artistic programme of classic Irish drama and new Irish writing holds a mirror up to Irish society. Over the years, the Abbey has nurtured and premiered the work of major Irish playwrights such as Marina Carr, Frank McGuinness, Tom Murphy and a new generation of writers such as Richard Dormer, Stacey Gregg, Nancy Harris and Elaine Murphy. We also nurture a new generation of Irish artists through our artistic development programmes and commitment to discovering new acting, writing and directing talent.
Just before we left for Dublin, I decided to try & book an evening out at the theatre !! Both myself & son had the most memorable & incredible evening at the Abbey Theatre on Wednesday, 3rd December ???? The theatre itself is impressive from the outside but once inside you see it’s beautiful charm & ambience! All the staff we encountered were so very lovely, we collected our pre-paid tickets swiftly from the Box Office just inside the foyer & pre-ordered drinks for the interval - all effortless ! The evening was incredibly led by incredible actors, great characters & set with a fabulous evening of entertainment ! We had such a fabulous evening here x We both nominated our evening at Abbey Theatre the highlight of our trip to this fine city of Dublin !x Thank you x Coming back in February - the theatre booking is at the top of our itinerary! A ‘must see’ whilst in Dublin !x

Small cemetery housing the remains of 14 leaders of the Easter Rising.
A small but well maintained and clean cemetery. Located behind the museum (Collins barracks). Do take the time to visit here and pay respect to the 14 men / leaders of the 1916 rising who are buried here. A fitting memorial with the Irish proclamation and the Irish tri colour flying above the final resting place of these brave men.

If you just walk quickly down the street with St. Mary's Pro Cathedral, you could quite possibly miss it as it doesn't look like a typical cathedral you're likely expecting to see in Dublin. This church has a fascinating history and interesting architecture that really sets it apart from other churches in Dublin and buildings on this street - stop by for some insight into Irish history and the Catholic roots.

Underneath the church are five long burial vaults containing the mummified remains of many of Dublin's most influential 17th, 18th and 19th century families, including the legendary Shears brothers and the highly decorated coffins of the Earl's of Leitrim. Since Victorian times visitors have descended the vault steps to see the mummies and Bram Stoker, creator of the "Dracula" stories is believed to have visited the vaults in the company of his family. In one vault can be seen the remains of the "Crusader" though in fact he is only 650 years dead. The early visitors to the vaults were responsible for many of the myths and legends surrounding the bodies, though modern scientific investigations have cast doubts on many of these stories. Nevertheless, a visit to the Crypts to see the historic mummies is a remarkable experience.
St. Michan's is definitely worth a visit. The quick tour allows you to see the crypts below the church, as well as a number of mummified bodies. A great atmospheric exhibit, and quite creepy.

Decorative Arts & History is home to a wide range of objects, which include weaponry, furniture, silver, ceramics and glassware; as well as examples of folk life and costume.
Set in an old army barracks, this museum focuses on military history (for my brother-in-law) and irish culture. My favorite place was the curator's picks. The exhibit was small, but gives a good idea of the types of things you can see there. Tge museum is large and you can get lost for hours.
