20 Photos To Inspire Your Trip To Dublin

I fell head over heels in love with Ireland while traveling around the country in August of 2021. I hadn’t even left the country when I was already trying to make plans to come back!

We stayed in Dublin for several days before taking the bus to Galway where we rented a car and went on a road trip to Cliffs of Moher.

From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of perfect. I fell in love with little Irish towns like Doolin. And while many local Irish folks will claim they don’t like Dublin because it’s too dirty/too much of a city, I still LOVED it .

Here’s a few tips for your trip to Dublin:

We stayed at the Arlington Hotel which is perfectly located within walking distance to most of the sights. It’s located right along the river and city center. And the hotel is home to the Irish dance show, Celtic Nights. However on my second trip to Dublin, we stayed at the Grafton Hotel. Slightly more expensive but SO nice!
Grafton Street is a great place to begin your adventures. It’s full of shops and tons of live street musicians. (Anyone seen the movie or musical Once?!)
Favorite pubs include: Brazen Head (oldest in Dublin) and the Hairy Lemon.
Join a free walking tour to catch some of Dublin’s fascinating history.
Don’t skip out on the Guinness Tour, the Gravity Bar at the storehouse has the best views of Dublin.
It is easy to connect from Dublin to other cities like Galway via the City Link buses (They are affordable, clean, safe, comfortable…a great option!) And you can book tickets here. We paid $16 to get to Galway.
