Braveheart! Now there’s a great film all about the great warrior William Wallace and how he stuck it to the English – a great tale from the annals of Scottish history. Hang on a minute! Scottish history? But we’re on a Dublin site here!
Something you’ll discover very quickly when staying in Dublin is that it is extremely easy and pleasant to sit in a pub with a pint of Guinness in front of you, having a chat and watching the world go by. But sooner or later you’ll need to get off that chair and seek some fresh air before your trousers will not fasten any more.
Dublin’s great! Its pubs are great, the Guinness is great and there are some brilliant things to see and do in the city. But if you’re a bit of a country bumpkin getting concrete fever from the lack of greenery, or if you’re just longing for some fresh air to blow away a heavy night, or if you just like really beautiful places – then head for Howth on the north side of Dublin Bay.
With a history dating back to 6000 BC, a fine old castle and an attractive marina there’s plenty to recommend a trip to Malahide for a day out while you’re staying in Dublin. Go to Malahide! Now there’s another recommendation, so what are you waiting for?
Go to any country in the world that has a town or city with few waterways running through it and it will almost inevitably get compared with Venice. Birmingham becomes the Venice of the north and any number of cities, from Basra to Bangkok have been called the Venice of the East. As for the Venice of Ireland? Yep, of course there is one ... and it’s called Monasterevin.
Places To Go in Dublin
Needless to say, no trip to Ireland would be complete without exploring at least a handful of Irish castles.

And, once you're there, why not take a day trip and venture outside of Dublin? The towns and villages situated near Dublin are a joy to behold....
