Trinity College
Walk the cobbled lanes of Ireland’s oldest university, alma mater to literary greats and home of the precious Book of Kells.
Croke Park
Croke Park in Dublin is so much more than an impressive sports stadium. “Croker”, as it is locally known, is in many ways is a bastion of Irish identity that protects the spirit of Gaelic games from forces seeking to dislodge it.

Guinness Storehouse
A tour of this pint-shaped hall in a historic brewery provides an intoxicating journey through the making of Ireland’s signature drink.
Grafton Street
Watch the talented street performers as you search the boutiques in this shopping haven for something special to take home.
Aviva Stadium
Watch a game of rugby or soccer and take a tour of the changing rooms and players’ tunnel to peek behind the curtain.

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Clean nice room. Loved the counter space in the room. Served food on main floor making it convenient when needed something to eat late at night. No ice/buckets in room or on each floor, but could get from check in when needed. Breakfast was plentiful, but not enough hot food. Would stay at this location ...
