Top places to visit

Follow the signs to “Faiche Stiabhna”, as the Irish call St. Stephen’s Green, for an inner-city oasis.

7. Dublin Zoo

It’s easy to see why. Dublin Zoo is located in the delightful grounds that make up Phoenix Park so it is slap bang in the centre of the city.

There’s a train to help you cover all that distance, and plenty to see at every stop.
