Day 1

Morning

Start your first day off with a visit to Trinity College. Here you can walk around the grounds, visit the Book of Kells and admire the beauty of the long room which makes you feel like you are walking the halls of Hogwarts (minus the wands and suspicious teachers)

Afternoon

After your fix of history, you can take stroll down Grafton Street (shopaholic heaven) where you will not be stuck for choice of places to spend all your money. The atmosphere on Grafton Street is electric with buskers singing and the streets bustling filled with people. As we all know shopping is very tiring so take yourself into Bewley’s Café for a coffee and snack while you watch the world go by.

Next activity of the afternoon is the iconic Hop on Hop Off tour. It is the easiest way to see the entire city while also learning interesting facts about the city from the amazing local drivers. On this tour you will be taken to several iconic locations such as St. Patricks Cathedral, Kilmainham Gaol and the Guiness Storehouse, just to name a few.

Evening

After all that exploring the hunger will most definitely be hitting and for those of you who have people in your group who get ‘hangry’ we have the perfect place for you. Gallaghers Boxty House is located in the heart of Dublin’s Temple Bar and serves amazing food sure to please everyone.

To end off the night you have to do The Original Dublin Pub Tour or a Cultural Pub Crawl. These have a mix of live music, storytelling and enough Guiness to make you join in on all the singing by stop number 3.

Day 2

Morning

After a scrumptious breakfast(or a Panadol depending on how last night ended) you are going to start the day off by hopping on a dart to Howth, a beautiful seaside village only 25 minutes from Dublin City Centre. Here you can do the Howth Cliff Walk or visit Howth market for a delicious sweet treat. They also do the best fish and chips in Howth if you’re fancying something more wholesome.

Afternoon

After your refreshing morning you will head back to the city for some more culture and by culture we mean alcohol. You can choose between the Teeling Whiskey Distillery tour (they do amazing cocktails!) or head to Roe&Co Flavours experience. Both of these tours are amazing and are still such god fun even if you aren’t the biggest fan of whiskey.

If you aren’t feeling like drinking head to the EPIC museum, a perfect mix of interaction, movement and just the perfect amount of nerdy.

Dinner

Finish off the night with a trip to the Arlington Hotel for the Merry Ploughboy Irish Night. This award winning dinner and a show is one you cannot mis, it’s a night filled with fun, laugher, culture and dancing, definitely one you cannot miss.

Day 3

Morning

For your final day we have two solid options for you. Firstly is the Cliffs of Moher & Galway tour for a day away from Dublin. It is a long tour but totally worth it if you want to see the dramatic cliffs, wild Atlantic views and local walks.

Secondly you can do the Glendalough, Wicklow & Kilkenny Tour. Not as far of a journey but equally as beautiful you’ll get to see forest lakes and a medieval town that looks like its just been taken straight from a movie.

Afternoon

When you return back to Dublin, treat yourself to a trip on the Vintage Tea Trips tour. On this trip you get to sip tea, nibble on some cakes all while driving through Dublin’s City Centre.

Evening

If you have any energy left pop into the Cobblestone for one final trad session where you’ll be faced with great pints, great music and if you’re lucky some Irish dancing.

There is plenty more to see around this beautiful city but don’t forget to take some time and soak in the atmosphere while trying to squeeze in all your activities. We hope you enjoy your trip to our beloved capital!!
