[2025 Dublin Attraction] Travel Guide for Temple Bar (Updated Jul)

#europetravel Dublin is packed with history, culture, and a pub scene like no other. But beyond the usual tourist trail, there are plenty of insider tips to make your trip even better. Here’s how to experience the city like a pro. 📖 1. Skip the Lines at Trinity College & The Book of Kells One of Dublin’s most famous sights, the Book of Kells, draws big crowds. The trick? Book an early morning slot or visit just before closing for a quieter experience. Afterward, take a moment in the stunning Long Room Library—one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. 🍺 2. Personalize Your Pint at the Guinness Storehouse Yes, the Guinness Storehouse is touristy, but did you know you can print your own face onto a pint of Guinness at the Gravity Bar? It’s a fun (and slightly surreal) souvenir before taking in panoramic views of Dublin from the rooftop. 🎭 3. Experience Dublin’s Theatre Scene Dublin has a rich literary history, and its theatre scene is just as impressive. Grab a ticket for a show at the Abbey Theatre, founded by W.B. Yeats, or check out The Gaiety Theatre for traditional Irish storytelling through music and dance. 🎶 4. Go Beyond Temple Bar Temple Bar is famous for its pubs, but it’s also packed with tourists and pricey pints. Instead, explore Capel Street or Wexford Street for a more local experience—think cozy pubs, live Irish music, and a crowd that’s more Dublin than tourist-heavy. 🌆 5. Discover North Dublin’s Underrated Gems Most visitors stick to the south side, but North Dublin has its own magic. Stroll through Smithfield for cool coffee spots and hidden whiskey distilleries, or visit Glasnevin Cemetery for fascinating historical tours. ⭐ Local Tips to Make the Most of Dublin: Get a Dublin Pass for discounts on top attractions. Public transport is great, but Dublin is best explored on foot—the city is walkable, and you’ll stumble upon hidden gems. Try a proper Irish breakfast at a local café—O’Neill’s or Hatch & Sons are solid choices. Check out Dublin’s markets—George’s Street Arcade is great for vintage finds and local crafts. Dublin is best enjoyed with a mix of iconic sights and off-the-beaten-path adventures. Whether you’re sipping a pint with your face on it or getting lost in the streets of North Dublin, this city always has something unexpected to offer. #europe #ireland #dublin

My first ever Extreme Day Trip (solo) ✈️ and something I’d recommend to anyone who has the travel bug within them! Only 1 hours actual flight time from Luton Airport in the UK and you could be having breakfast in another country! 😍 I got one of the coaches from the airport into the city centre which was also very organised and well priced and set me up nicely for the day 👌🏼 I managed to cram in quite a bit whilst not overloading too much!: Jameson distillery tour Grafton Street Dublin Castle Christchurch Cathedral Dame Street Halfpenny Bridge (no photos - sorry!) Lunch was a quick stop at the famous Bambino’s Pizza - delicious 😋 and I encountered some funky graffiti along my walk - 25,000+ steps in a day 😮💨 And of course I ended the day with a couple of pints of Guinness at the world famous Temple Bar… the live music added to the already buzzing atmosphere 🕺🏻 There’s so much more to see and do, you could easily make another EDT out of the city! I will save the Guinness Storehouse tour for the next visit and aim to visit Connor McGregor’s pub The Black Forge Inn too for a different taste of local life! ✌🏼 #travel #dublin #ireland #edt #solo

Great city for a trip, friendly, fun, plenty to see and do!

Lovely weather in temple bar

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 #Dublin Temple Bar is everything you’d expect from a classic Irish pub – lively, classic and full of energy. Although there are many tourists here, it is definitely worth a visit. There is live music all the time, the performance level is very high, and the whole bar is full of life because of the music. I ordered a perfect Guinness stout (gotta try it of course!), but if beer isn’t your thing there’s also a good selection of whiskeys and mixers. The interior of the bar retains that old-school warmth, with dark wooden decorations, stained glass, and walls full of nostalgic items, full of historical traces. To be honest, the floor was a bit sticky because of the beer spilled, and the surroundings were often splashed with beer by singing and dancing drinkers, but these made the whole experience more authentic and fun. This was not a quiet wine tasting, but a joyful party. Even though it was crowded, the service was still fast and friendly. Everyone was having a blast - some were singing loudly, some were chatting over a toast, and some were just quietly soaking up the irreplaceable atmosphere. If you come to Dublin, be sure to visit Temple Bar and experience its unrivalled live charm, even if it’s just for a perfect stout. This is Ireland!

Absolutely loved Dublin, cool music, fun Irish pubs, beautiful parks. Dublin Castle and phenolic park, where you can deer spot, are a must visit. And of course who could forget the iconic Temple Bar #travel #thingstodo #dublin #weekengetaway
