Planning Your Dublin Itinerary

Dublin offers a tremendous amount of choices for tourists.  The city has museums, shopping, entertainment, churches, access to nature, and yes, pubs. We do recommend planning one to two key things to do on your daily itinerary. No matter your interests, Dublin surely provides many choices to entice your curiosity.

Travel Resources

We consulted Frommer’s Dublin Day By Day travel guide for identifying specific attractions to include during our trip.  The book was helpful to identify walking tours, museums, as well as providing days and times that specific places are open to visit.  We recommend purchasing a book similar to this one when planning a longer trip.

This Dublin guide provides 19 Self-guided Tours, 39 Maps, and several day trips. You’ll also find recommendations on the best live music and top kid attractions in the city.  It’s a great resource to help you experience the best of Dublin in the smartest, most time-efficient way.

• The best of Dublin in one, two, or three days
• Thematic tours for every interest, schedule, and taste
• Hundreds of evocative photos
• Bulleted maps that show you how to go from place to place

10 Things To Do in Dublin Ireland

This episode completes our journey of 10 ideas to occupy your time in Dublin. We share our experiences with an overview of a day trip from the Irish capital to the Wicklow mountains. On this journey, we made stops at a few notable places.

At Lough Tay (aka Guinness Lake), we admired the colorful hills which have been the backdrop of numerous films. There, we also sipped Irish Whiskey as we overlooked the lake with its sandy end. Yes, it looks like the largest serving of Guinness beer from a distance.

Our day trip also took us to the ancient Glendalough Monastic City. Here, we learned about this early community inhabited by monks.  While ruins remain, the stones tell a story of a remarkable history that included Viking invaders.
