Things To Do
Dublin City
“When a man is tired of Dublin, he is tired of life!” My Guess is that you'll all make haste to the Guinness storehouse. I can't argue with that decision but Dublin has so much to offer in art, history, distilleries and of course, great pubs. Book a tour at the Teelings whiskey distillery https://www.teelingwhiskey.com/ Take a viking tour on an amphibious vehicle https://www.familyfun.ie/viking-splash-tours/ Get a glimpse into Irelands political history at Kilmainham Jail https://kilmainhamgaolmuseum.ie/ Tour Glasnevin Cemetery and then grab a pint at the gravediggers inn. https://www.dctrust.ie/experience-glasnevin/tours-and-highlights.html https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186605-d1516708-Reviews-John_Kavanagh_The_Gravediggers-Dublin_County_Dublin.html Last but not least, enjoy the 360 view of Dublin at the top of the Guinness storehouse – pint of stout in hand. https://www.guinness-storehouse.com/en
Titanic Belfast
Find out where and how the most famous ship in the world was built!
The north coast - Dunluce Castle, Giants Causeway and Bushmills.
See the ruins of this famous 13th century castle on Irelands north coast. Conveniently located just a few miles down the road from Bushmills, Irelands old whiskey Distillery. https://discovernorthernireland.com/things-to-do/old-bushmills-distillery-p672861 The giants causeway is nearby too. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/giants-causeway
Newgrange
Newgrange is a fully excavated 5,200 year old passage tomb located in the Boyne Valley. On the shortest day of the year, the light hits the back of the tomb. Worth a stop on the way back to Dublin if you have the time.
