Start the day with a tour of Dublin Castle, an impressive 13th-century fortress that houses countless treasures and secrets of the country's history. In the afternoon, take a tour of the Guinness Storehouse, a seven-story museum dedicated to the famous Irish stout. Enjoy a tasting session and breathtaking views of the city skyline from the rooftop.
Enjoy the morning at Phoenix Park, the largest enclosed public park in any European capital city. Take a stroll, cycle along the scenic routes, or admire the wildlife such as herds of deer. In the evening, head back to the city center for dinner at The Merrion Hotel, a luxurious five-star hotel with some of the best restaurants in Dublin.
