When the weather cooperated we walked around the city, toured Trinity College, and visited the botanical gardens, and when it poured rain as it often does in this part of the world, we just popped into a pub for some Irish stew and a pint of Guinness.

25 things to do in Dublin Ireland | Top Attractions Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Trinity College was founded in 1592 and it is the oldest university in Ireland. The campus is open to visitors interested in touring the grounds, and you'll also get to hear some fascinating stories of famous students, including the likes of Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, and Bram Stoker.
The Guinness Storehouse is Dublin's most popular attraction, and it's a must-visit for beer lovers. The Storehouse covers seven floors surrounding a glass atrium shaped like a pint of Guinness. Inside you'll also find a copy of the 9,000 year lease signed by Arthur Guinness on the brewery site - they won't be going anywhere for a while!
Grafton Street is one of the main shopping areas in Dublin. You're likely to find lots of musicians, buskers, and performers along here, plus you get a good vantage point of The Spire.
Prior to the establishment of Glasnevin Cemetery, Irish Catholics had no place of their own to bury their dead. This burial ground gave both Irish Catholics and Protestants a place where they could give their dead dignified burial, and it has since become the resting place for people of all religions and non religions.
Experience Gaelic Games is a place where you can come and try traditional Irish sports like hurling and Gaelic football.
The Old Jameson Distillery is the original site where Jameson Irish Whiskey was distilled until 1971. It is now a visitor centre that offers both guided tours and whiskey tastings.
Temple Bar is an area known for its lively nightlife. Located on the southbank of the River Liffey, you'll find all sorts of pubs playing live music once the sun goes down. There's also one pub in Temple Bar, called The Temple Bar, but don't let that confuse you.
And that's a wrap for our time in Dublin! We hope you enjoyed this video and that it gave you a few ideas of what the city has to offer. As always, if you have any other suggestions of fun things to do in Dublin as a visitor, feel free to share them in the comments below. Wishing you happy travels!
This is part of our Travel in Ireland series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Irish culture, Irish foods & Irish cuisine.

There is a whole a lot more to explore when you hop on a train to see Bray Head, Portmanock Beach, Harbor Howth...I cant even recall how many hours a day would walk in Dublin. Now i am in Calgary and scenery here is not even comparable. Thank you for such a warm video about this beautiful city.
Great example of making great content without the expensive gear! I like how you kept the 25 chapters short, it gave me a quick idea of all the stuf to prepare for a nice weekend in Dublin. Thank you!
Great video guys! I'm going to Ireland this spring so thanks for all the tips.

Rian McGrattan you should re-edit the video so that you don't confuse people to what Grafton street is
Great video guys
Nice video and review. See you soon, Dublin city
Thank you!
Great work guys, very informative video. Brings back memories!
+dada asdada Thank you very much! When were you there?
earlier this year in April. Loved Ireland so much!
+dada asdada That's awesome! I'm glad you liked it. How was the weather then?
Thanks for this!!! We are visiting Dublin in 3 weeks 🇮🇪
Thank you very much! Your video is very helpful:)
Go on Ireland, glad you guys had a good time visiting our country :)
Planning on going this summer wit my son! Stoked
That is wonderful to hear! Dublin is an amazing city. Hope you two have a lot of fun!
One of the most fun things we have ever done on a trip was to ring the bells in Christ Church. Getting there won’t be for some...up a circular stairway then across the roof with a 2 foot fence keeping you from falling, then another climb to the room below the bells. Great history, great story, great experience.
What an experience John!
We are off to Dublin in a few weeks, this video was very informative and helpful👍
How cool! Thank you and I hope you have a great time :)
I'm going at the end of May. Thanks for the video
Thanks Chris! Hope you have a great trip.
I'm off work sick and going through all your videos, thanks so much.
Thank you! Hope you feel better soon!
my dream county to travel.so beautiful place
Cool to hear!
Hopefully I’ll be able to visit Dublin in September. I’m planning everything with my friend now
Great Video Guys. We just moved in here. Some areas down south of Dublin City Centre such as Dun Laoghaire are worth a visit too. They offer great views and walks along the promenade and is absolutely gorgeous in the summers. Dalkey is another place where all celebrities live and has some amazing Irish houses if one wants to see.
+Vaibhav Kabra Thank you! Glad to hear you're enjoying living in the city. Thanks for the suggestions! We're hoping to maybe return again this summer.
Super groovy travel video as usual Sam and Audrey. I will be in Ireland on July 1st. I'm very excited. I will check out many of those spots
Thank you! That is really exciting! July 1st should be a great time to visit. It might actually be warm and sunny then ;)
I'm hoping so. I'll be there for a week.
Samuel looks totally Irish if it wasn't for the Canadian accent he could blend in as a local.
+MrBubblescookie LOL, I just have to work on changing my accent ;)
He kinda looks like a viking too. Fellow Canadian here who's been to Dublin a number of times to visit friends. Love Dublin.
Only 9% of irish are read heads.Don't know what the % is but the scots are much higher in terms of redheadness
I'm spending my January vacation in Dublin and I'm really glad that Google Trips recommended your video. I loved it! :)
Oh that is so cool to hear! I hope you have a great time :) We miss Dublin!
Rafael Gonzalez where did you go?
The Brazen Head may be the oldest pub in Dublin, but Sean's Bar in Athlone is the oldest documented pub in Ireland (and possibly the world) by a long shot--dating back to the 10th century. There's only documentation of a pub on the site of the Brazen Head going back to the 17th century or so.
Thanks for sharing that Matt!
Tysm u helped me so much I have to do a project on dublin
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thx for posting the video about Dublin . I'm now convinced to visit the city someday because of you guys . Keep up the good work . :) . Glad to know the nightlife is fun there as you say . And lots of drinks(whiskey and beer) haha
+abdullah alqahtani Thank you! It's a great city to visit and I hope you can go soon. In the meantime, keep your liver well rested ;)
Hey guys :) What a great video! That reminded me the wonderful experience I had few months ago .... I'm so nostalgic I want to go back there and visit the places I didn't had time enough to see :p
Thank you very much! We really would love to return again soon as well.
Nice city! Full of life. Good souvenirs of it. Hi guys!! Renata
Thank yoU!
Hoping you had good time around my old town.
Thanks Francis! We had a great time. Dublin was great.
Thank you for exploring our city, I'm originally from Glasnevin, Thanks for loving our city!
Thank you! We loved visiting and would love to come back again soon.
Great photography!
Thank you very much!
Wow, Dublin city is so beautiful, i pray to land there one day..
Thank you! We definitely agree. Hope you can visit soon :)
Its my prayer too to visit the city.. thanks..
I've been there twice (2019 and 2021) and I loved every moment of it. The rest of Ireland is also incredible.
Excellent video! I'm visiting Dublin in August, so now I know what to do! What a lovely couple you are btw! :-)
Thank you very much! What a great time to visit. Hope you really enjoy your trip :)
me too lol
Me and my wife Love you guys x and an arsenal cap! Top man
Thank you! Ah, I'm glad I got that cap :)
I recomend Powers court gardens also!
Thanks for the recommendation!
beautiful city
+Ajmal shah Thanks! We agree :)
I'm really pleased you came to ireland try cork and wexford and waterford
One tip from a local - if Templebar is a bit too busy or traditional for your tastes when you want a night out, start at South Great George's street and walk south until you reach Camden Street. The walk is about a kilometre long, and there's something for everyone along the way - dance clubs, dive bars, craft beer bars, a gay bar, cocktail bars, and a couple of less busy traditional pubs as well. That area is the main party street for Irish college students and young professionals (along with the Harcourt area).
Thank you for the tip!
hope yous enjoyed! Make sure you visit again! plenty more to see :)
We sure did enjoy it! Would love to return again soon :)
Best quote in this video “ha-ha... idk about that” when ask if he could share his food lol
lol, thanks
great video
Thank you!
Another great video. I like how you perceive and present everything with a lens of goodness and optimism. As far as I notice you seem you to like everything you eat or drink. There is a minimum critical evaluation. Rather I think there is almost no criticism. For promotion of tourism that is very good but travels can use a little bit of your insight about what to avoid or what felt short of expectations. If you are really such positive couple. Keep it up. If you are intentionally keeping things bright, that's cool too.
+earnieshavers Thanks! I think that is something we can definitely improve upon in the New Year.
hey do you have any dessert place suggestion in dublin?
Awesome!!! I wanna go. Never been.
Hope you can soon!
one place that was missed that I enjoyed (and maybe it's further down in the comments idk) is the little museum of Dublin! it's near st stephen's green and has a lot of history of the pop culture of Dublin for the 19th and 20th century.
but still an awesome video!
Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you very much!
To visit Dublin is a must in my Travel dairy
+Delip Chauhan Good call!
I would like to go live there, I'm in love with Dublin
Cool to hear! Highly recommend it. Such a fun city to visit.
I'm from leitrim in the north west of Ireland if your ever back come down this way of the country its more country/farm kind of scenes but it's beautiful. There's places like Eagles Rock and mizen head in Donegal at the top of Ireland highly recommend it
Thank you for the recommendation!
Go to comedy at the International bar, it's on 7 nights a week. It's the home of Irish comedy for over 30 years.
Thanks for that suggestion!
Hi.Your very welcome. A Happy Xmas ☘.
Hey! Happy Xmas!
Just want to thank you guys for your awesome videos! Planning my first trip to the UK alone, and yours are my favorite! Did you guys prefer Edinburgh or Dublin?
Thank you! That is exciting to hear. They're so different from each other that if you can manage both we'd highly recommend that.
Awesome video. 8 days condensed into 15 min. That was FAST! Dublin is wonderful, but don't spend all of your time there. Don't go to Los Angeles and assume all of America is like that. Outside of Dublin is a totally different slower relaxing experience. Rent a car, but don't ever expect to park anywhere in Dublin.
Thanks! That is true - exploring more of Ireland is a great idea.
Do you remember the name of the place where you got those Irish coffees?
I'm going to Ireland at the end of July :) I checked your video out for ideas and I think you guys gave me some good ones!
That is really cool! Hope you have a great time :)
+Samuel & Audrey is it possible to get entirely from city to city by train and bus? (no driving or renting a car?)
Depends what cities you're going to. If you're travelling to some of the major ones there should be easy connections, or at least ones with only a transfer involved.
+Samuel & Audrey okay thanks :)
I'll be there in eight days! *o*
Hi. You are a lovely couple .Glad you enjoyed your stay, it's a pleasure too watch your Tour of Dublin. Go Raibh maith agaibh. ( Thank Ye )
Thank you very much! We'd love to return to Dublin again soon :)
The Brazen Head is not the oldest pub in the country, Sean's bar in Athlone is the oldest pub in the world from 900A.D.
Ah, thanks for letting us know.
How far away is that?
Ye. But Athlone is not on this planet.
Why am I watching this I live in town!😂
Thanks for watching! Where do you live in Dublin?
+Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos . "town" means the city center
4. Henry Street.
will I get drunk here?
@@mp-sv2cp only if your a pint of guinness!!!!
I have about 11-3ish in the Dublin airport area. What should I do ?
The deer move around the park during the day.
there are hundreds.
good video.
Thank you! Wow! Didn't realize so many were at the park. That is cool to hear.
go visit kilmainham gaol! deffo a must see place and sp worth your time
I was born n bred in Dublin and I've never been to most of those places.
Ah, cool and hope you can check them out someday. Where else do you recommend visiting in Ireland?
You should take a trip along the wild Atlantic way next summer.
That would be awesome! I hope we can :)
Nice! The irish stew made me sooo hungry 😅
Thanks Kelly! Wish we could share.
Thanks Kelly! Wish we could share.
You don't add anything extra like intros and outros. That's what makes you so unique and keep it that way! :)
+Broken Nose Thanks! We try to keep it simple in that regard.
And I was particularly pleased with your editing that when you fade between scenes you also fade in the audio rather than blast different levels. Listening with earphones is pleasant. Thank you.
The Phil Lynott statue should be nr 1 of course!The man that put Dublin on the map.
Thanks for the suggestion Noel.
Audrey is BEAUTIFUL !!! ♥
Except for that mole with the hair on it , eeeeewwwwwwww
P.S. Make sure your first day to get a map of Dublin since the bus may drop you off end of day and not the exact location where you caught bus in morning. You may have to walk 10 minutes back to where you were picked up in AM to start your travels They may do final drop off at popular area where restaurants are located.EVERYONE WALKS AROUND.
The Norseman is my favourite pub in Temple Bar! But it's not so good as the Cobblestone at Smithfield!
Ah! Thanks for sharing that with us.
I spent 7 years in Dublin back in the 70’s. I still didn’t see everything
hey guys great video, I just booked my trip to Dublin for next year. I had a question, can you drink the water in Ireland, I love beer but I do need to drink lots of water and that was a concern of mine. thank you.
Thanks! The water was just fine from the tap in Dublin. I hope you have a great trip.
thanks for the reply, that is great news.
Of course you can
I've had tap water all over the country. It's all clean.
Also Lynott's statue!!!
cold... 15 degrees lol... thats summer man.....
lol
@@samuelandaudrey glad you enjoyed it guys... bottom half is worth a look too, ring of kerry is incredible .. cork, clare, wexford, waterford all have their own charm... from dublin and dont worry ,was never my favorite place either..lol
Next time go to St Michan's Church and do the crypt tour. So cool!
Thanks! Appreciate the tips.
I just got back from Dublin and Ireland. My favorite thing I did in Dublin was visiting the crypt under Christ Church. It was beautifully creepy.
That is cool to hear! How many days did you visit?
I was in Ireland and Northern Ireland 8 days. 3 total in Dublin. Drove around the countryside mainly checking out ruins. I tried my hand at sheering a sheep. I saw Ashford Castle. The people in Ireland are so nice. I'd go back for sure.
In Ireland and Northern Ireland for a total of 8 days including 3 days in Dublin.
Did you go to Jericoacoara in South America? It is a must🏄
+Kees Manuel No, we didn't.
Omg I live here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blade to see you guys liked dublin
Glad*****
Thank you! We sure did. We'd love to return.
Greetings from Ontario. I like your videos. Watched quite a few. Am going to spend 3 days in Dublin and 6 days on tour in a bus from Dublin to other parts of Ireland. I found your video interesting as I am trying to cram a lot in just 3 days for Dublin and your video has given me a headup. Just wondering if the hop-on bus is worth it or just a waste of money due to traffic. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! Where in Ontario do you live? If you enjoy walking you could cover everything in the guide for sure in 3 days but the hop on hop off tour might be more comfortable. Even though Dublin is a city it has much more of a town feel compared to big cities in Canada.
I live in Mississauga in the GTA. Have been travelling in Europe lately and watched some of your videos before I go as I do Rick Steven and a few others. Great work. Keep travelling and doing these wonderful videos. It gives the rest of us a headsup.
"got a big gulp of cream" - that's what he said
+Rachel Dunning ;)
The street called Grafton Street in this video is actually Henry Street.
Sorry for our mistake.
must be nearly ten euros for a pint wouldn't want to be to fond of yourself cost a small fortant to bring out a bird for the night
Martin Lanigan a
Next time you are here go and see the Leprachaun Musuem and Viking Splash
Thanks for the tips.
why did the cream on the lips make me laugh lol
lol, I'm always getting food all over my face ;)
Love the video but I gotta say when you're talking about Grafton Street, you're actually showing Henry Street lol Just a small mistake though!
+McGovP Thank you! Oh gosh, our mistake with that ;)
Hey! What time of year did you go? I'm going in March and I'm wondering if it's gonna look shitty like March in Canada: bald trees, dead grass.
We were there in September so I'm not entirely sure to be honest.
Nope it's the complete opposite, green trees, flowers sprouting rains a fuck-ton though
Is it just me or was the street you were showing for grafton street actually Mary street?
Don't think you can see the spire from Grafton Street. That's the Henry Street view you're showing, other side of the Liffey.
I LOVE IRELAND!!!!
Cool to hear!
I Love your Sister
Is Dublin handicap friendly as far as access to places and transportation?
I'm getting hints of a northen Irish accent in the fella. I'm probably way wrong lol, but just hearing the odd thing to my ear😂
fish on bike is the best :)
What is that?
