Trinity College
Trinity College offers a welcome haven from the hustle and bustle of Dublin and it is one ivory tower you’d be happy to be trapped in for a long time.
Guinness Storehouse
The Guinness Storehouse is situated at St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin. The giant storehouse covers seven floors and is a popular point of interest for tourists - since it opened in 2000, it has received over four million visitors.
Croke Park
Croke Park in Dublin is so much more than an impressive sports stadium. “Croker”, as it is locally known, is in many ways is a bastion of Irish identity that protects the spirit of Gaelic games from forces seeking to dislodge it. If this all sounds a bit dramatic you should take the fantastic Croke Park Experience tour to get a very real sense of just how important and deeply ingrained the GAA and Gaelic games are to Ireland’s sense of itself.

Clean pleasant hostel in a great location. However, I payed extra for a city view room and was on floor 5 of 10 which wasn't great.

Point A Dublin Parnell Street
Staff were super accommodating with our suitcase storage, finding a list item of ours and answering our questions. The only feedback I have is that the breakfast could have been better, though it was still great!!
