A two-day route that hits Dublin’s must-sees without feeling rushed. Day 1 keeps you in the historic city-centre core — Trinity, Dublin Castle, Christ Church, Dublinia, then Guinness in the afternoon and a pint in Temple Bar to finish. Day 2 balances the heavy history of Kilmainham Gaol and EPIC with a bracing cliff walk around Howth, ending with trad music at The Cobblestone in Smithfield.
