Dublin is Ireland’s capital city and it is a town filled with culture, beauty, and Irish history. If you are looking for the best things to do in Dublin, you have come to the right place. We’ve visited Dublin several times and are heading back to our favourite European city this summer in 2022. So, before we hit the road to visit the Emerald Isle, we thought we’d celebrate all the amazing things we’ve already done.
Things to do in Dublin
Ireland is the land of leprechauns and shamrocks, Guinness, and Irish whiskey and Dublin is the heartbeat of the country. It was founded by the Vikings in 841 on the banks of the River Liffey and was called Dubh Linn, meaning Black Pool. There are so many things to do in Dublin that even after 5 visits, we always find a new activity and attraction. So, let’s take a look at some of our favorite places to visit in Dublin.
1. Temple Bar
One of the things you have to do when you are in Dublin is to visit the Temple Bar district. Temple Bar isn’t just a bar, it is a lively area on the South Bank of the River Liffey. It’s party time here with several pubs and clubs waiting to serve you a good time with live music and fresh pints.
But there is more to the area than just a party, many of Dublin’s cultural institutions have set up shop here including the Irish Film Institute, The Irish Photography Centre, and Even the Irish Stock Exchange. Get entrance to many of Dublin’s top tourist attractions with the Dublin Pass.

2. Tour the Guinness Storehouse
The Guinness Storehouse is number one when it comes to places to visit in Dublin. Literally. Twenty million visitors have toured the brewery and enjoyed more than a pint or two. And it lives up to the hype! Started by Arthur Guinness in 1759, Guinness has been a staple of Ireland ever since. Located in the heart of Dublin at St. James’s Gate Brewery, Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease to operate his brewery on the premises.
Covering 50 acres, the Guinness factory is a major part of the city’s history. The tour is very interesting to learn how Guinness is made, but more importantly, it ends with a full pint of beer at the rooftop Gravity Bar bar that offers one of the best views of Dublin City.

Guinness really does taste better in Ireland!
