So this week we're excited to be exploring
Dublin and we're planning to spend an entire week here. This video is going to highlight 25 things to do around the city. Dublin is where most trips in
Ireland begin, so before seeing the rest of the country,
Audrey and I spent a whole week getting to know the capital. When the weather cooperated we walked around the city, toured
Trinity College, and visited the botanical gardens, and when it poured rain as it often does in this part of the world, we just popped into a pub for some
Irish stew and a pint of Guinness.
The following video will show you a few of the different things to do in
Dublin, Ireland.

Trinity College was founded in 1592 and it is the oldest university in Ireland. The campus is open to visitors interested in touring the grounds, and you'll also get to hear some fascinating stories of famous students, including the likes of Oscar Wilde,
Jonathan Swift, and
Bram Stoker.
The Guinness Storehouse is Dublin's most popular attraction, and it's a must-visit for beer lovers.
The Storehouse covers seven floors surrounding a glass atrium shaped like a pint of Guinness.
Inside you'll also find a copy of the 9,
000 year lease signed by
Arthur Guinness on the brewery site - they won't be going anywhere for a while!
Grafton Street is one of the main shopping areas in Dublin. You're likely to find lots of musicians, buskers, and performers along here, plus you get a good vantage
point of The
Spire.
Prior to the establishment of Glasnevin Cemetery,
Irish Catholics had no place of their own to bury their dead. This burial ground gave both Irish Catholics and Protestants a place where they could give their dead dignified burial, and it has since become the resting place for people of all religions and non religions.
Experience Gaelic Games is a place where you can come and try traditional Irish sports like hurling and
Gaelic football.
The Old Jameson Distillery is the original site where
Jameson Irish Whiskey was distilled until
1971. It is now a visitor centre that offers both guided tours and whiskey tastings.
Temple Bar is an area known for its lively nightlife. Located on the southbank of the
River Liffey, you'll find all sorts of pubs playing live music once the sun goes down. There's also one pub in Temple Bar, called
The Temple Bar, but don't let that confuse you.
