4. The Guinness Storehouse:

In 2000, the Guinness Storehouse opened to the public, during which it became one of the most popular sights to visit. It is recommended that you give at least 90 minutes to complete the trip, during which you will climb up seven floors filled with immersive activities that will educate you on the rich past of Ireland, finishing with a pint in the Gravity Bar rooftop.

5. Phoenix Park, Dublin:

Phoenix Park is the biggest public park in any capital city in Europe. Originally established in the 1660, Phoenix Park was the Royal Hunting Park and opened in 1747 to the public. To this day there is a massive population of fallow deer. The Dublin Zoo, the Áras an Uachtaríain home, and the Victorian floral gardens are all situated in the Park. This is a favourite location for tourists and local residents in Dublin.

6. Forty Foot, Dun Laoghaire:

The Forty Foot is part of the Pavilion Theater building, overlooking the port of Dun Laoghaire. Less than a mile further down the rocky coast is Sandycove and the popular ‘Forty Foot.’ Originally known as the ‘Forty Foot Hole,’ this deep-water inlet has been an open swimming spot for almost 200 years. It’s a year-round venue open to everyone.

7. Samuel Beckett Bridge:

This bridge opened on 10 December 2009 and had been planned for this area for a long time. On a functional level, the bridge provides an important river crossing, linking Guild Street on the north bank to Sir John Rogerson’s Quay on the south, and promoting a better, more appropriate flow of traffic within the area. Socially, it unites cultures separated by the River Liffey, but with a great deal of common history. The bridge is the diverse branding of this lively quarter and the city itself.
