To help you plan your trip to Dublin, I would like to give you some tips and must-sees today. We spent four days in Dublin, but I would recommend fewer days unless you want to visit other cities, the mountains or the coast. As the weather in December was not exactly conducive to a day at the beach &#8211; despite quite mild temperatures and almost no rain &#8211; we refrained from doing so. We will certainly come back one day to drive along the coasts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-184171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-07-1440x810.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-07-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-07-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-07-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-07-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-07-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-07-800x450.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dublin lies in a bay at the mouth of the River Liffey and is bordered to the south by the Dublin Mountains, part of the Wicklow Mountains. The city is also the largest in Ireland. As part of the EU, the national currency is the euro. Irish and English are spoken. To get from the airport to the city, you can take a bus or &#8211; like us &#8211; the Aircoach bus. It&#8217;s best to ask at your hotel or check Google Maps. Irish and English are spoken. To explore the city, I recommend a hotel in a central location, then you can easily explore Dublin on foot. We only used the bus to go to the zoo, which is a bit outside the centre.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Overview<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/#Dublin_Castle\" >Dublin Castle<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/#Museums_in_Dublin\" >Museums in Dublin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/#Churches_in_Dublin\" >Churches in Dublin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/#Trinity_College_Dublin\" >Trinity College Dublin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/#Phoenix_Park_and_Dublin_Zoo\" >Phoenix Park and Dublin Zoo<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/#Dublin_Festival_of_Lights\" >Dublin Festival of Lights<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/#Shopping_in_Dublin\" >Shopping in Dublin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/#Food_Guinness_Storehouse_in_Dublin\" >Food &amp; Guinness Storehouse in Dublin<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dublin_Castle\"><\/span><strong>Dublin Castle<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-184192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-39.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1286\" height=\"2048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-39.jpg 1286w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-39-300x478.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-39-965x1536.jpg 965w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-39-800x1274.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1286px) 100vw, 1286px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But now to my first spot, which you should not miss. Dublin Castle, which was first mentioned in 1204 as an important place of defence. The castle was built on the Dark Pond (&#8220;Dubh Linn&#8221;), which gave the city of Dublin its name. The complex consists of several buildings and towers. The base of Bermingham Tower is one of the remaining parts of the original castle. It is located in the south-western part of the castle and features a modern upper section. The Record Tower at the south-east end of the castle is also an original part of the old castle and is also known as the Wardrobe Tower. This tower was built around 1220.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Museums_in_Dublin\"><\/span>Museums in Dublin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-183711 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/dublin-09\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-09-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-09-scaled.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-09-300x533.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-09-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-09-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-09-800x1422.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/dublin-30\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1480\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-30.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-30.jpg 1480w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-30-300x415.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-30-1440x1993.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-30-1110x1536.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-30-800x1107.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1480px) 100vw, 1480px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/dublin-travelguide\/dublin-11\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1687\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-11-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-11-scaled.jpg 1687w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-11-300x455.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-11-1440x2185.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-11-1012x1536.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-11-1349x2048.jpg 1349w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dublin-11-800x1214.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1687px) 100vw, 1687px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many museums in Ireland and in Dublin can be visited for free.
