Attractions of Dublin
If you travel to Dublin in June, you would be able to catch the Darklight Festival and the Dublin Writers Festival, which runs for five days. July is the month for the Rose Festival, which is held over a weekend. Because Dublin is so close to UK, you can’t lose much holiday time traveling as you would overseas.
There are a lot of free attractions in Dublin including the Trinity College, National Gallery and the National Museum. On Tuesdays, you can go on guided tours to the House of Lords for free too! For the attractions that have entrance fees, you can purchase the Dublin Pass so you can save some money compared to paying the charges individually.
You can also go to the picnic grounds in St. Stephens, where it will be cheaper than eating in a restaurant. It is also a good option away from the noisy and busy city district.
The Ha’Penny Bridge is considered as Dublin’s popular landmark. This is a bridge for pedestrians who would like to cross the river Liffey from Swifts Row to Wellington Quay and back. It is the oldest pedestrian bridge in Dublin, dating as far back as 1816.
