<p>The best time to visit Dublin <strong>is during the Saint Patrick&#39;s Festival celebrations</strong> . On March 17, real (green) miracles happen in the city. Processions of green-dressed residents pass through the streets of Ireland&#39;s capital, house facades are decorated in green, green three-leaf clovers (so-called shamrock) are everywhere, and green beer is even served instead of morning coffee. This is <strong>a real green madness that is worth giving in to,</strong> even if it means a huge headache the next day. </p><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/irlandia/dublin/dublin-8.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Dublin" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Dublin, Ireland - © Brate</figcaption></figure>

When to visit Dublin?

<p><strong>The best way to explore the historic part of Dublin is on foot.</strong> Two days are enough to see most of the monuments without rushing and drink Guinness in the best pubs in Temple Bar.</p><h3> Temple Bar </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/irlandia/dublin/dublin-1.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Dublin" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Dublin, Ireland - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The bar district on the south bank of the River Liffey and the undisputed showcase of Dublin. <strong>Cultural, tourist and night center of the city</strong> . In addition to the hundreds of traditional pubs that line the narrow, cobbled streets, there are also art galleries and souvenir shops (including the unique Jam Art Factory), the Irish Photography Gallery and the Stock Exchange building. Every Saturday, Temple Bar also hosts a tasty Food Market and Cow&#39;s Lane Fashion and Design Market, where you can buy unique clothes, furniture and accessories from Irish designers.</p><h3> St. Cathedral Patrick </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/irlandia/dublin/dublin-5.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Dublin" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> St. Cathedral Patrick&#39;s Day, Dublin, Ireland - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The largest and most important cathedral in the country and the burial place of many famous personalities, including: writer Jonathan Swift (author of <em>Gulliver&#39;s Travels</em> ) and the first president of Ireland, Douglas Hyde. <strong>The church was built in the place where in the 5th century St. Patrick administered the sacrament of baptism.</strong> The first wooden temple was built in 1190. Less than a hundred years later, it was replaced by a stone building that has survived to this day.</p><h3> Dublin Castle </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/irlandia/dublin/dublin-4.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Dublin" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Castle, Dublin, Ireland - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> A powerful castle, whose origins date back to the 13th century. In 1684, most of the buildings were destroyed by fire, and <strong>only one tower has survived from the original structure of the stronghold.</strong> The castle was rebuilt and today it serves primarily representative functions, it is the seat of many state offices and the place where the president is ceremonially sworn in.</p><h3> Trinity College, Dublin </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/irlandia/dublin/dublin-3.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Dublin" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> Trinity College is Ireland&#39;s most famous university. Many famous philosophers, thinkers, poets, writers and scientists (including Oscar Wild, Bram Stoker, Samuel Beckett, and William Campbell) left the walls of the college founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I. It is worth purchasing a ticket and <strong>visiting the university library building</strong> , which houses one of the most beautiful medieval manuscripts - the Book of Kells. The richly decorated and illustrated volume dates from around 800 and contains the text of the four Gospels.</p><h3> Famine Monument </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/irlandia/dublin/dublin-famine-memorial.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Dublin" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Famine Memorial, Dublin, Ireland - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The Famine Memorial, <strong>a monument dedicated to the victims of the Great Famine</strong> in Ireland, shows emaciated figures of people and a dog walking along the river bank towards the port. The wave of famine that hit Ireland in 1845–1849, caused by potato blight, caused the death of over 20% of the country&#39;s population and caused the emigration of almost 2 million inhabitants.</p><h3> Guinness Museum</h3><p> The Guinness Storehouse is a must-see when visiting Dublin, and not only for beer lovers. The huge museum is located in a brewery where Guinness has been produced for hundreds of years. Here you can <strong>learn everything about beer production</strong> - ingredients, their combination, the method of carbonation and pouring the drink into barrels and bottles, as well as about the history of the brand itself and its importance for the development of the country. At the end of the visit, it is worth trying to <strong>pour a pint of Guinness yourself</strong> and drink it in the bar at the top of the building with a view of the whole of Dublin.</p><h3> Jameson Distillery</h3><p> A famous distillery where you can learn about the history of whiskey, follow the process of its creation, and finally take part in a tasting and fun activity related to recognizing the species and range of flavors of this noble drink. <strong>Jameson Distillery can only be visited with a guide.</strong> The entire tour, including the tasting, lasts approximately 60 minutes.</p><h3> Little Museum of Dublin</h3><p> The most interesting museum in the city. Inside you can admire <strong>over 5,000 exhibits that were donated to the gallery by the city&#39;s residents.</strong> The small museum presents the most recent history of 20th-century Dublin and can be visited every hour with an extremely charismatic and entertaining guide.</p>

What to see in Dublin?

<p>Dublin&#39;s nightlife centers around Temple Bar and the River Liffey. <strong>In most bars you can listen to live music in the evening with a glass of beer.</strong> Dubliners actually live in pubs and celebrate all important family celebrations there - even baby baptisms or weddings. It is <strong>an inseparable element of Irish culture</strong> , so an evening out for a glass of Guinness or a glass of whiskey should be added to your calendar, even if you prefer colorful drinks and dry wine on a daily basis.</p><h3> The Brazen Head</h3><p> The oldest pub in Ireland, which served beer long before the tenement house in which it is now located was built. This is <strong>a true Dublin institution and a place to start your evening.</strong> Or preferably afternoon, because it gets really crowded here after 6 p.m. (20 Lower Bridge St).</p><h3> The Temple Bar</h3><p> The flagship Dublin pub, whose <strong>characteristic red building</strong> appears in all photos advertising the Temple Bar district. Excellent beer, tasty food and great performances by Irish musicians (47-48 Temple Bar).</p><h3> The StagsHead</h3><p> A stylish bar made entirely <strong>of wood with colorful stained glass windows</strong> . A perfect place to meet for a beer and a good dinner. Very friendly and efficient service (1 Dame Ct,).</p><h3> The Long Hall</h3><p> According to locals <strong>, The Long Hall serves the best Guinness in town</strong> . I don&#39;t think it needs a bigger recommendation (51 South Great George&#39;s Street).</p><h3> The Dingle Whiskey Bar</h3><p> A large selection <strong>of really good whiskey at reasonable prices</strong> . A very well-thought-out menu that describes the types of drinks and explains the differences between them. Always crowded and noisy (44 Nassau St).</p><h3> Porterhouse Central</h3><p> A bar with a wide selection of beers from around the world. Nice atmosphere and really spacious interior. Even on <strong>weekends you can easily find a table</strong> (45 Nassau St)</p><h3> Kehoes Pub</h3><p> A pub with <strong>a traditional, old-school Irish atmosphere.</strong> There is no TV and there is no music in the background, because after all, you just come to the pub to talk and drink beer. Extremely uncomfortable bar stools, laughing people of all ages and a friendly atmosphere (9 Anne St S).</p><h3> Mulligan&#39;s</h3><p> For years <strong>one of the best pubs in the city</strong> . Perfect for both an afternoon beer and an evening out. Traditional interior design, excellent beer and friendly bartenders (8 Poolbeg St).</p>

Nightlife in Dublin

<h3>Phoenix Park </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/irlandia/dublin/dublin-phoenix.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Dublin" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> One of <strong>the largest fenced parks in Europe</strong> . Dublin&#39;s green lungs cover over 700 hectares and are a favorite recreational area for city residents. There are, among others, a car racing track, numerous bicycle paths and a football, cricket and polo field. A settlement of wild fallow deer has been operating in the park since the 17th century.</p>

Parks in Dublin

<p>Rain and a pint of Guinness are Dublin&#39;s best showpieces. The capital of the green island is famous for its <strong>hostile weather outside and the perfect atmosphere inside the pubs at Temple Bar</strong> . It is best to come here in March, for the grand celebrations of St. Patrick&#39;s Day, when the city resounds with traditional folk music, and the streets are filled with masquerades and streams of green beer. </p><div id="attachment_84688" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 500px;"><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/irlandia/dublin/dublin-3.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Dublin" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Dublin, Ireland - © Brate</figcaption></figure></div><p> Although Dublin is not as attractive as other European capitals, it <strong>makes up for it with a coarse sense of humor and provincial charm</strong> . It will appeal to all who prefer idyllic, more intimate atmosphere and slow-paced sightseeing to modern and industrial cities.</p><h2> For whom?</h2><p> Dublin is a great weekend getaway idea for all those who <strong>like sightseeing and Guinness.</strong></p>

A nice hostel located a few minutes&#39; walk from the center. Very nice and helpful staff. Apparently there are team-building events for guests twice a week, but we missed it. Unfortunately there are no hair dryers.
