Dublin Zoo 🐪
#timetotravel
My experience at Dublin Zoo in Ireland was a delightful adventure in the heart of the city. Situated in Phoenix Park, this captivating zoo welcomed me with its diverse array of animals and immersive habitats. As I wandered through the well-designed enclosures, observed majestic creatures up close, and learned about conservation efforts, I was both entertained and educated.
The zoo's location within the expansive Phoenix Park added to the charm, creating a serene oasis amidst the urban bustle. It wasn't just a zoo; it was a journey around the world, offering glimpses into different ecosystems and the incredible animals that inhabit them.
Dublin Zoo left me with a sense of wonder and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world. #Dublin #ireland
Dublin Zoo is just WoW 🗺️
#timetotravel
Dublin Zoo, nestled within the lush Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland, is an enchanting and educational destination that left me thoroughly impressed. My visit to this iconic zoo was a journey into the fascinating world of wildlife conservation.
Exploring the zoo's diverse exhibits, from majestic big cats to playful primates and vibrant aviaries, I was captivated by the array of species from around the globe. The zoo's commitment to animal welfare and conservation efforts was evident in its well-designed enclosures.
What sets Dublin Zoo apart is its dedication to education and awareness. The informative signage and engaging animal talks provided valuable insights into the importance of biodiversity.
The zoo's location within Phoenix Park, one of Europe's largest city parks, adds to its appeal. For families, animal enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a day of wildlife discovery, Dublin Zoo is a must-visit. It's a place where conservation and entertainment come together, leaving you with a deep appreciation for the animal kingdom. #dublin #zoo #animals
Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪
It’s a food trip in Dublin, Ireland. We start our day with hot tea and breakfast at Day n Night (Picture 1). We ordered most of the items on breakfast menu and my favorite was bulgogi toast 🙌They serve ramen in the afternoon too. I have attached their menu as well. The first one will be breakfast menu followed by dinner menu!
Day n Night
📍18 Denmark Street Great, Rotunda, Dublin, D01 YP86, Ireland
After walking around Dublin City, we went to my favourite ice cream shop, Murphys Ice Cream. I would definitely recommend you to try my all time favorite, Sea salt dingle 🍨 We walked Brown Thomas then went back again for the ice cream. We all had 4 scoops of ice cream each in one day 😍😍
Murphys Ice Cream
📍27 Wicklow St, Dublin 2, D02 WN51, Ireland
We also had our dinner at Kimchi Hophouse. It sounds like a Korean food trip in Dublin😂. I wouldn’t really recommend this place as the food was abit too salty for me.
Kimchi Hophouse
📍160-161 Parnell St, Rotunda, Dublin, D01 Y4A7, Ireland
P/S:
If you’re theme park lover, you can also travel to Tayto Park. There are many different rides and Tayto factory for you to visit 🙌 The roller coaster is always my favourite ride! The ticket to visit the theme park was about €40 🎟️
Tayto Park (Also known as Emerald Park now)
📍 Emerald Park, Kilbrew, Ashbourne, Co. Meath, A84 EA02, Ireland
Finally, we had some good drinks at temple bar dublin to end our trip. 🍷🍷🍷

Lovely hotel in convenient location
Visited Dublin to watch my favourite band and stayed at the Easy Hotel. Nice, clean and and at a convenient location. Rooms were a in the smaller side but did the job for a quick visit. The hotel does not have a cafe or a restaurant so ensure you bring goodies with you. Also note that most shops in Dublin close at 11pm and they do not sell alcohol after 10pm! #dublin #Easyhotel
Dublin’s Mountain
You will never go wrong with Wicklow mountains. This is one of the nearest mountains you could drive from the city centre, will just take an hour drive and taddah a breathtaking view. Aside from that, there is a short walking trail for an overlooking Dublin City view. Downside is you need a car to roam around here and it’s very very windy but good for calming your soul..#hellfire #wicklowmountain #dublin #ireland #travel #nature #photography
Modern Ireland
Dublin is one of the coolest and friendliest cities in Europe. Located just outside of the UK in Ireland. A city filled with wonderful ancient and modern buildings.
Dublin, capital of the Republic of Ireland, is on Ireland’s east coast at the mouth of the River Liffey. Its historic buildings include Dublin Castle, dating to the 13th century, and imposing St Patrick’s Cathedral, founded in 1191. City parks include landscaped St Stephen’s Green and huge Phoenix Park, containing Dublin Zoo.

Beautiful Dublin with room for Guiness
We spent 2 days in Dublin and had the best time, what a lovely city and also the people. You should really try out going there, in my opinion the most interesting and liveable city in Ireland + the whole UK!
First day we went sightseeing and went to the National Museum, as well as local shops where you can buy all kind of selfmade products.
All in all I recommend it to everyone you, can even see the seaside if you only drive like half an hour.#dublin #2023travelwish #tripblazers
CHRISTMAS Dublin Castle!! 🎄
📍Dublin Castle. Dame St, Dublin 2, Ireland 🇮🇪
🎄🎄CHRISTMAS EDITION !!🎄🎄20/12-21/12
Wandering around the christmas market within the Dublin castle is a wonderful experience🏰. The state apartment has turned into a “Christmas version🥹” apartment which has really impressed and surprised me! 💜 Wonderful Christmas trees with different decos (some with teddy bears🧸), you could still feel the royal vibes all over the entire castle💓.
You can enjoy festive drinks like mulled wine🍷or hot choc🍫 with sugary churros and listen to some Christmas carols🎶 in the middle of the castle . Or even ride the merry-go-round right in the center of the castle 🎠🏰.
⚠️⚠️Most important, FREE ENTRANCE TO THE DUBLIN CASTLE DURING CHRISTMAS !! ⚠️

Must-do attraction in Dublin
if you’re going to Dublin you absolutely cannot miss the Guinness Storehouse tour. Obviously Dublin is the home of the love it or hate it drink but whichever team you’re on, the storehouse is a great experience. Lots of history to see and you do of course get to sample a pint at the end of your tour.
When I visited there was also an opportunity to have your selfie printed onto the foam of the pint which was a really novel idea!#dublin
Nearby the Temple Bar, St Andrew's Church quick snapped a picture, and continue relax drinking at Bar. Even afternoon there so full inside and with live music songs! Lovely afternoon meal at there #dublin
#bar
just enjoy the country side. fresh air. small towns. city. enjoy the local food in the pubs and the scenery of the castles and old buildings. and of course the pub grub #dublin
Howth - an essential day trip
Ireland is full of superb landscapes that make it very clear why its nickname: Emerald Isle. But, if your trip is limited to Dublin, you might think that much-hyped green color is missing. Nothing is further from reality. In addition to the capital's parks, you shouldn't miss out on visiting the small fishing village – well, increasingly more touristy and residential and less fishing – of Howth. A getaway of a few hours that will reconcile you with your idea of the Irish green and almost an essential among the things to see in Dublin.
Put on comfortable shoes and be prepared to do some walking. That was what we did with a nine-kilometre hiking trail –about three hours because the landscapes were well worth stopping constantly to photograph them– that took us from the station to the highest point on the peninsula and back. If you walk less, don't think it's not worth it to get to Howth.

Dublin in a day
Dublin's tourist attractions are located quite close to each other, which allows us to see it in a single day without too much hassle.
A key point of visiting Dublin is the weather. The weather in Dublin is very irregular and changeable. It is not strange that in a matter of an hour you go from the clouds to the sun, leaving the rain or the wind in between. Even in the summer months there is no guarantee of stable weather, so my recommendation is that you take advantage of the sunny moments of the day to, without hesitation, hit the streets and enjoy the places to see in Dublin that are located abroad.
A good place to start our tour of Dublin is O'Connell Street, the widest street in the city. It is not particularly monumental, but it is picturesque and it is a very frequented point in the city, so it is worth walking its little more than 500 meters in which we will see the obelisk of the Monument of Light and the Central Post Office , place where the Republic of Ireland was proclaimed.
Traditionally, neighborhoods north of the River Liffey have a reputation for being humbler and simpler than those to the south, so there isn't much to see around this avenue. Of course, we can always take a walk along the commercial Henry Street, which -without being as elegant as Grafton Street in the south- is the main commercial artery of this part of the city. #ireland #dublin
Affordable, stylish hotel in the city center
The Moxy Dublin is centrally located, so you'll be a few steps away from vital transport links and other attractions. It's a modern property and the staff are welcoming and warm.
The lobby is a warm and open space where you can comfortably unwind and socialize; a very good concept that's in line with other Moxy's. The check in staff was absolutely lovely. He was welcoming, kind, accommodating and made sure my stay was as comfortable as possible.
The rooms are basic but comfortable and modern. They are clean and quite spacious, which was very nice. Further, even though the hotel is located in the city center, it was surprisingly quiet, which is very important for me.
Overall, an excellent stay with great staff. The hotel is extremely good value for money especially in an expensive city like Dublin. A stay at the Moxy would ensure you're in the heart of the city, making it extremely convenient. You'll also be in clean and spacious rooms! Definitely recommend!

Comfortable and close to the airport
The Radisson Blu is right near Dublin airport Terminal 2 (T1 is a further 5 mins away). There's a free shuttle that brings you to it, but if you don't have that many bags, the walk is easy and takes less than 10 mins. The convenience is what makes this hotel so attractive. The walk is a tiny bit tricky but that's only because you have to find the right crosswalks (follow Google maps).
The hotel seems a tiny bit dated but the rooms were comfortable, clean and seemed up to date. The room was spacious and included a second table which provided additional space and a seemingly separate space for meals. The view was of the airport, which was nice. But you also heard the sound of planes and slightly of the road nearby. Nonetheless, it was an adequate stay, especially since I wanted to be next to he airport.
Overall, a nice and short stay; the rooms were spacious and clean and the location was great! It was not directly connected to the airport but was very much close enough!

EPIC! The Irish Emigration Museum
You won’t find leprechauns or pots of gold here, but you’ll discover that what it means to be Irish expands far beyond the borders of Ireland through the stories of Irish emigrants who became scientists, politicians, poets, artists and even outlaws all over the world. Discover Ireland from the outside in and find out why saying “I’m Irish” is one of the biggest conversation starters, no matter where you are.
➖ Address - Custom House Quay, Dublin 1
Open 7 days a week: 10:00am – 6:45pm
➖ Highlights - At EPIC they honour Irish emigrants by telling their stories and keeping their memories alive. It’s a place where you can come to acknowledge them, their journeys, their struggles and their achievements.
When they left Ireland they took something very important with them, something that would give them strength, their identity, their power to change the world and something they would pass on to you – their name.
They invite you to be a part of our The Power of a Name exhibition by adding your emigrant family member's name to the Legacy Wall. Simply give them their name, where they emigrated from and the year they left. They will project it onto the wall of EPIC and it will become part of the exhibition.
You will also have a chance to purchase a personalised genealogy consultation with the Irish Family History Centre.
➖ Rating - 5 ⭐️/5

Dublin is a must on your bucket list!
Getting There - Dublin airport is a hub, so you’ll easily find a cheap flight from many countries. To arrive from the airport into town? there’s plenty of buses or taxi. The Dublin express is probably the fastest as it goes through the tunnel, you’ll be in the city centre in only 30 minutes (buy the ticket online as it’s cheaper).
Once in the city centre, you can just go anywhere by walking. The world is at your feet.
Attractions - There’s plenty to do in Dublin. I personally suggest to go to EPIC (The Irish Emigration Museum), it’s really a fantastic experience, especially if you have Irish ancestors. You’ll discover that what it means to be Irish expands far beyond the borders of Ireland through the stories of Irish emigrants who became scientists, politicians, poets, artists and even outlaws all over the world.
Trinity college and The Book of Kells is another great experience.
If you have time go the National Gallery of Ireland. It’s free, open 7days a week and has many great paintings.
Hotels - There’s many nice hotels in Dublin, but if you value your sleep don’t choose one in the Temple bar area.
Food & Restaurants - The restaurant and cafe scene has really stepped up in Dublin. Walk around the city centre, avoid the tourists’ traps and you’ll be fine.
Shopping - Grafton street is one of the areas where you can start your shopping. Just make sure you have enough room in your luggage. 😂

Trip to Dublin
During my visit to Dublin, I immersed myself in the city's rich culture and vibrant atmosphere. One of the highlights was savoring a pint of Guinness at a local pub, where the dark, velvety brew tasted even better amidst the lively conversations and traditional Irish music playing in the background. I indulged in a variety of traditional dishes, from hearty Irish stew to savory boxty pancakes, each bursting with flavors that delighted my taste buds. Venturing into Temple Bar, I found myself surrounded by the bustling energy of the iconic neighborhood, with its colorful pubs, bustling streets, and eclectic mix of street performers. The experience was a perfect blend of Irish hospitality, culinary delights, and unforgettable memories, leaving me with a newfound appreciation for the charm and warmth of Dublin.#Dublin #Ireland #Guines
Visiting the Guinness factory in Dublin City
Perfect little city break visiting a friend. We booked the Guinness factory for my second day and despite us both not loving Guinness we did love the factory and the Guinness that was on offer there. I do believe it’s true they say Guinness tastes different in Dublin and that’s because it is brewed there.
It was very interesting to walk around the factory. We went into a free guided tasting session.
We then also visited the top floor to Gravity bar where you’re offered a free drink when you purchase your ticket, this can be a choice of a few drinks but obviously most people opt for a Guinness, as did we.
Highly recommend! #localguides #falltrip #dublin #guinnessstorehouse #guinness

Dublin Castle and a day out!
Visited Dublin and had an awesome Friday. Went to Jummah at the mosque - Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland which you need to use the bus or FreeNow taxi to get to. You are able to get a 72 hour leap card from the airport to help you get around. I usually visit Dublin Mosque but decided to opt for this one as it is huge and beautiful. Went to Dublin Castle afterwards and they have museums near there with exhibitions showing off some really interesting stuff. #dublin #ireland #Summer
Dublin Castle is a historic castle located in the heart of Dublin, Ireland. It was originally built in the 13th century and has served as a residence for British monarchs and Irish presidents over the years.
The castle itself is a stunning example of medieval architecture, with its imposing stone walls and towers. Visitors can explore the castle's many rooms and courtyards, which are filled with fascinating historical artifacts and exhibits.
One of the highlights of a visit to Dublin Castle is the State Apartments, which were once used by British monarchs when they visited Ireland. These opulent rooms are filled with ornate furniture, tapestries, and artwork, and provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the royals who once called Dublin Castle home.

Dublin Cafe ☕️
📍Butler’s chocolate 💜💜💜
Butler’s chocolate is a very famous choco brand in Dublin with decent and rich chocolate drinks. I have ordered an iced chocolate during winter times 🤭🫣, but what we think was it’s a little bit “normal”. But I loved how it got a range of chocolate drinks to chose from (Dark/ white/ Milk).
📍147 deli 💜💜💜
147 Parnell St, Rotunda, Dublin 1, D01 N223, Ireland.
An express sandwich shop also sells coffee, however it didn’t surprise us. To be fair, sandwiches might be tasty (which we haven’t tried) because people kept getting sandwiches from them!! If you are in a hurry it might be a good choice.
📍Vice Coffee Inc 💜💜💜💜💜
54 Middle Abbey St, North City, Dublin, D01 E2X4, Ireland
Friendly and lovely staffs who would loved to recommend you the best seller for their cafe.🫶🏻🫶🏻 We ordered a latte and Vietnam coffee which taste smooth and silky. I would strongly recommend you to order the chipotle chicken toastie, it’s brilliant!! The salted caramel brownie was a big surprise topped with a toasted marshmallow which suited the Christmas vibes🎄🎄!!! However PLEASE try their Irish coffee!! we haven’t got a chance to try it☹️☹️☹️
📍Beanhive coffee. 💜💜💜💜
26 Dawson St, Dublin 2, D02 FY28, Ireland
A very tiny coffee shop with fair coffee, they’re famous for coffee art!!! However I haven’t got a chance to get a nice one cause they’re closing 🥹🥹🥹. But they did provide lovely coffee.☕️☕️
