Popular places to visit
Guinness Storehouse
The Guinness Storehouse is situated at St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin. The giant storehouse covers seven floors and is a popular point of interest for tourists - since it opened in 2000, it has received over four million visitors.
Phoenix Park
Phoenix Park is so important to Dublin that it has its own law on the statute books and visitors should be aware that one provision of this is that “no person shall act contrary to public morality in the Park”. So watch your Ps and Qs!
Dublin Zoo
Dublin Zoo is not the only place in the city that you can take a walk on the wild side but it is probably the most popular. A firm favourite with families, the zoo attracts more than a million visitors every year, and they just keep coming.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Explore this historic Gothic cathedral that stands beside the traditional well where legend says St. Patrick baptized converts.
Christ Church Cathedral
This massive building on St. Michael’s Hill in the city center is one of only two Protestant cathedrals in Dublin.
Kilmainham Gaol Historical Museum
This infamous and eerie former prison is a fitting place to hear the grisly story of Ireland’s punitive past and the struggle for independence from British rule.

The Chancery Hotel
Newly built hotel in Dublin. Rooms are updated and clean. I would categorize this as a boutique hotel. It’s not a VIP property so they didn’t accommodate my status at all. The hotel is centrally located but lacks activity in the surrounding area. It is extremely close to the St Patrick’s cathedral ...
