This is my guide to Dublin - it's a lovely city to explore, and you can do everything that you've seen in this video in less than three days.
Do you have any other bucket list suggestions? Let me know in a separate comment below!
Great video. Did churches etc take card or cash only ? Might go there soon🙂
@RobertSK931 thanks very much! They take both cards and cash. Hope that helps?
@@UltimateBucketList Thank’s! Perfect to know. I just found your channel and subscribed🙂 Greetings from Sweden. Robert
@@RobertSK931 believe it or not, I'm flying to Stockholm right now to make more videos. Thanks again 🙂👍
@@UltimateBucketList Wow! That’s super cool. Can’t wait until you post the video. Have a great time!
Now this is what I call a brilliant video city guide. Well spoken and totally coherant - a real delight. Lots of relevant information without being boring. Actually this qualifies as a professional presentation - it`s that good. Ninh knows what he~s doing - and has a sly sense of humour. Tells it like it is- Book of Kells viewing - a rip off.- how delightful is that !!!
Appreciate your comments Richard!
I try and keep it informative and useful without boring people to death (hopefully).
And yes, the Book of Kells is a total rip-off!
I’m from Ireland and I appreciate your brutal honesty and clear passion for travelling.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind comments :)
We're from Dublin and we can vouch what a good piece of work this video is, well done with every aspect of it and informative too. We personally have more fun enjoying outside of the city center in spots where you can see Irish coastlines and islands, more of nature and less of man 😄
Thank you - I appreciate your seal of approval.
And yes, Dublin has many great places outside the city and it's totally worth exploring without the crowds of tourists and the like.
Be sure to help me out by sharing this video where you can 🙂
You, my friend, create the most entertaining and useful guide to a city. It is always a pleasure watching your videos. Among the best out there. Keep up the great work
I appreciate you saying so, thanks very much!
It makes all the hard work seem worth it. :)
Been to Dublin before, I can't wait to go back and explore some of these places mentioned here I've never been to yet.
I hope you do!
I've never been to Europe so Ireland is probably one of the first places I'll go to when I get time.
You will love it. It's fantastic
I think you'll love Ireland and all it has to offer.
You'll have an amazing time in Dublin, for sure!
I've been saving money for a trip to visit Ireland. I love everything about it 🇮🇪. Thank you
You're welcome Lina, I hope this helps you plan your visit to Ireland. I think you'll love the place!
You describe the book of Kells as medieval. But it was written in the 9th century long before medieval times. You don't seem to understand why it's important. It was written and illustrated by hand over a 1000 years ago and we still have it. It's worth learning more about it. Kilmainham jail is historically interesting because it's where the 1916 leaders of the revolution were shot. Also Temple Bar is the name of the whole area not just the pub of that name. It was a medieval part of Dublin that was going to be demolished about 30 years ago until a group of artists managed to buy it and turned it into the interesting area it is today. It's not just pubs, it's theatres and venues and exhibitions and restaurants.
Hi Anne, Thanks for clarifying these points to everyone watching this video.
He produced great content about the Dublin tour. However, he didn't dive into Irish history and its importance worldwide. The book of kells is a treasure, and a visit to it is a priceless experience. It is "similar" to a tour around Rio de Janeiro without spending time to see Jesus' statue. Or going to Paris and don't pop up near to Eiffel Tower. And many other treasures around the world. Although I understand where he comes from. It is all about budget and priorities. I definitely recommend the Book of kells tour. Nowadays, it is offering an extra level of experience with the new Magical Virtual Pavilion where the visitors immerse into the pages through technology infrastructure.
Ireland has a lot to offer, and it takes time to learn its history. 💚☘️
Especially Love the stadium tours!
Thanks!
Thank you! Looove, love Ireland, land and beautiful people, lived in Dublin, my first little girl was born there...miss everything❤🍀
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed this video and it brought back some good memories :)
I am from Finland and visited Dublin in 2018 with my friend. It was nice, especially pubs and people, Aviva Stadium and Teeling Whiskey Distillery 😊 and yeah, Guinness too, of course.
Yeah I agree. Really nice city, lots of things to see and do.
And Guinness ... always Guinness! :)
fantastic video Ireland. looks like an amzing place to visit
Yeah, it's definitely a fun city to visit. Just bring quite a bit of money, because unfortunately nothing's cheap here.
Thank you. Great video. I took notes in preparation for our visit in May 2024. Very much looking forward to it and now I have a more comprehensive list of things to do and see.
Fantastic! I'm glad this video helps you plan your trip. I hope you enjoy Dublin!
Loved Dublin, thanks for taking me back there.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this video.

Thanks for stopping by again 🙂
Thank you!
Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed this video.
I love dublin and Galway
Yes, they're both nice places!
Regarding Temple Bar area, it's become a tourist trap aver the last two decades. Walk across Dame St to the Fade St area and the surrounding streets for where Dubliners actually socialise. Or in the evening, walk ten minutes further south to Camden St. Again, energetic nightlife but not a tourist trap.
Oh, and a taxi from the airport to the city is about €30-35
I think Temple Bar always was a tourist trap, I was never a fan, that's for sure.
And like you said, (and I mentioned in the video) there are better places to drink.
Had a long layover in Dublin a few years back and was able to explore at least part of the city. Had a great time in the few hours I was there, but hopefully can return to take in the city a bit more!
For sure! All the more reason to come back :)
aquí tenemos lo cuestionado en otras ocasiones: Guinness cerveza stout y Hop House Lager, coste y etc... ver en los (4:46 mins)
Love your voice!
Thank you very much!
I really appreciate your honesty and humor. We definitely skipped the book of kells. To be honest, we didn't want to pay the fee for going into St. Patrick's. A lot of the info that you provide bears out well after having experienced Dublin. Thank you.
Ah, I appreciate you saying so! Yes the Book of Kells was a total waste of money, but everything else was probably worth it.
Thanks again :)
well done, great video, we are heading there in 10 weeks :)
Amazing, I hope you have a wonderful time there :)
The Spire aka The Stiffy by the Liffey (among others).
The Anna Livia statue aka the Floozie in the Jacuzzi
Yes, the Irish vernacular for various Dublin place names is world renowned 😂
Ireland is the most beautiful country in the world. Irish people are a very good. This country always will be in my heart ♥ 💚 🧡
Yes indeed.
We're spending 5 days there in September, this video is much appreciated. Thank you for all of the information!
You're welcome, glad this video helps you plan your trip.
Enjoy Dublin!
My wife and I will also be going to Dublin in September.
bro that's one of the best tour guides Ive ever seen on CZcams, keep going, open your patreon, let me support you that way !
I appreciate the kind comments my friend! 😀
I try to make a lot of city guides to help people see these wonderful places!
I did have a Patreon, but nobody donated to it so I turned it off. I'll reinstate it at some point.
Once again, I appreciate your generosity and positivity on my videos 😄
Wow! This is rich content!
Thanks!
One of our favorite destinations. The Guinness factory is a must!! New friend here, love your channel. Travel Global!!
Thanks very much for commenting, and yes the Guinness factory is a must see attraction here. :)
I am planning to visit Dublin for three days next month, I stumbled across this amazing video and I wanna compliment you for your work. This video is absolutely accurate but what I loved the most was the tone of your voice. BRAVO 🎉
Wow, thank you! I appreciate you saying so. :)
Please avoid Temple Bar. It's overcrowded and overpriced, and it does not represent Dublin. Instead, explore the side streets around Grafton Street. Lovely pubs and cafés.
@@enigmatist666 Thank you for your advise. I will take just a picture from outside. If you have any other accommodation let me know. I have never been to Dublin before.
@@Salvo_Solotraveler Walk down any of the side streets off Grafton Street (a busy street that leads to Stephen's Green) and you'll find nice pubs and coffee shops. There is one place I'd recommend in Temple Bar, though - Gallagher's Boxty House. Excellent Irish stew! :)
@@enigmatist666 Thank you so much, you are so kind ❤️ I am taking note. I cannot wait to visit Dublin ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video! Please do every other city in the world!
Thanks. I'm trying to visit every major city, but it's hard work!
I would have loved to have gone to the Jameson Distillery but of course when I was there it was under renovation, so had to go to the Teeling one instead🥃🤷🏽♂️
That's a shame, the Jameson Distillery tour was actually pretty good. Very technologically advanced - gives you a reason to go back?
Excellent video 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐another great place to visit is Botanical Gardens a few minutes from o connell st you can get
Bus 83 from o cnnell street it takes ten minutes to get there' and its free entry to Gardens great place
The added advantage is you can visit the main DUBLIN Cemetery from the Botanical gardens there both linked
By an entrance either way great places to visit both places have lovely restaurants youll save money on the buses
And rapid rail and Trams theres lovely seaside resorts short distance from the city Howth Malahide Bray Portmarnock
Dun laoighre Skerries and lots more
Yes, great tips! Thank you.
Thanks for another great video Ninh, Dublin look fantastic but a tad expensive could you do a video on another Irish city which is cheaper but has a lot of attractions?
Hi Jason, yeah admittedly Dublin isn't the cheapest European city you'll ever visit (in fact, it's one of Europe's most expensive!). But I think when the weather is nicer, I'll do a complete tour of Ireland and visit places like Cork and the Ring of Kerry etc. Ireland isn't cheap by any means, but anywhere's cheaper than Dublin!
Jason garufi If your visiting dublin ,you don't actually have stay in dublin.The surrounding counties and suburbs will be a good bit cheaper and you are only an hour from.If you have a rental you can go to the red cow roundabout where LUAS dublins light rail network hop on that and you will be in the city centre in 20 minutes.If you don't have a rented car the towns of Newbridge ,kildare,Maynooth ,greystones and bray are well served by rail and as i said your only 1 hour from dublin and services are every hour.
A better alternative to Temple Bar is Darkeykelly's, across the road from The Wood Quay Amphitheatre, but be warned, it's very popular and you'll have a hard time getting a table. I went on my first trip in Dublin and the food, drinks and atmosphere was awesome, but on my second trip it was jam packed, not a table available.
I can believe that! I've heard of Darkey Kelly's. But to be hones, I found there to be a lot of better alternatives than Temple Bar!
Dublin is interesting.
Yes, it's a beautiful city to visit.
I would like to see Bergen Norway!
I'd love to see Bergen too! 😉
Doing a tour of Atlanta united’s Mercedes’ Benz stadium might be a cool video to make I’d love to see you do it if possible
I was planning on doing that this year, but work got in the way.
It's definitely on my list.
BEAUTIFUL!! I just shot a vlog in Northern Ireland too 😊
Cool, thanks!
Hope its what you want, things changing
That's so cool how you can get your face printed on the foam of guinness
Yeah, it's definitely unique I can tell you that!
@@UltimateBucketList for sure!
Can you do an ultimate bucket list video on Seoul in South Korea? I always wanted to go there because I like the Korean culture.
Yeah for sure. I'd love to go one day, hopefully next year or year after.
I plan to do the Expo in Osaka Japan in 2025, so at the very latest it'll be then.
Great vlog and perspective on Dublin. How can I get the map on Vlog?
Thanks Ingrid - the map of Dublin I found can be found here: dublinmap360.com/paris-bus-tour-map
Enjoyed watching this. We are going to Dublin in September. A couple of questions: 1. Where can we get a map like the one you used? 2. We are staying at an Airbnb, how do we determine what bus to take from the airport?
Thanks! Glad you like this video about Dublin and found it helpful to plan your trip. To answer your questions:
1) To find that map, Google 'City Sightseeing Dublin' and download it from their website.
2) Best thing to do is use Google maps to get directions from Dublin Airport to wherever your AirBnB is located. Click on the bus icon and it will tell you what bus to take, and which company it belongs to. Alternatively, use the interactive digital map at the airport.
Hope that helps?
Boyers❤
Nice video! Very informative. Already booked hotel and flight for the europa league final in Dublin next year. Obviously with a possibility to cancel for FREE just in case liverpool fucks up🤣
That's confidence, right there!
And thanks! :)
The residence of the Irish President is in Phoenix Park
I been to Dublin once nice enough city plenty of walking about but I did get lost finding my way back to bus station I had to ask bouncer door staff for help I found that people in Dublin aren't very friendly are helpful I was by myself I only went for day trip I would probably suggested week in Dublin
Ah sorry to hear that. Bouncers generally aren't a friendly bunch, but I found most people to be pleasant enough. It's certainly not like Paris where everyone treats you with a level of disdain. Dublin definitely is a fun city to spend a few days though.
If you think Dublin is dirty, well then don’t come to New York City. 😂
Sorry to hear that I always try to be helpful to tourists, I like them to have a good experience ,bouncers can be unfriendly in most cities I found.
Under British rule until recently? I wouldn't call 100 years recent! The Ha'penny Bridge is not rickety. The Air Coach is probably the most expensive mode of transport to the centre. I'd suggest getting an ordinary bus (such as the 16 or 41). It'll take longer, of course, but you get to see a bit of the suburbs, and it's much cheaper. Last time I was there, you could buy a bus pass at the airport - and it covered the bus into town. Temple Bar is to be avoided. You mention that there are other places to drink, but you don't suggest any. Next time you're there, explore the area around Grafton Street. :)
Have you been to Amsterdam about November 2023? I think I saw you there!
No, I was not in Amsterdam in November of last year.
I wasn't expecting you to be an Asian Scouser!!
If you travel for a couple of hours to Carrick On Shannon, Co. Leitrim, the Costello Memorial Chapel, the 2nd smallest chapel in the World after one in NY but Costello's is over 100 older
Edit: You're an Everton fan i'm guessing?
I'm not a scouser or Evertonian, I'm afraid.
Prestonian and I support Manchester United.
@@UltimateBucketListGreat to hear that.
Ah if it isn’t my hometown! Like yourself I avoid Temple Bar like the plague as it’s overpriced, most of the best City Centre bars are on Dame St, the one facing the entrance to Trinity College! There’s a couple of good ones of Grafton St as well! That Mini Dublin museum is very quirky and very good but that Rock & Roll one is pure shite!
Hope you had a good time! Up the Dubs!
I always do. Go Dubs!
Good video, thanks; but what is shocking is that the only reference that appears to Joyce is that unmentioned statue
Given that it's a travel guide, not a history video - it doesn't seem that shocking at all. And thanks!
The statues depicting death are famine memorials p.s temple bar is a massive tourist trap its like visiting London and only going to Leicester Square
Yes, as mentioned in the video; there are better places to spend the night than at Temple Bar, even though it's the most famous pub.
Love your videos Btw
@user-pq1mg6rv2b thanks, much appreciated! 🙌
Thank you for your great video and information. Do you know how long it takes to get from the cruise port to where we can get on a hop on hop off bus as we will be coming in on a cruise ship ? We have about 10 hours available to us. Also, do you recommend the hop on hop off bus as a start to get additional information other than what you shared?
Hi Gary, thanks for your kind comments. If you're arriving via cruise, you'll most likely dock at Alexandra Quay on the east side of the city. Some cruise companies offer complimentary shuttle busses to and from the city centre, but in general, it's only about 2 miles so really not far. If you're short on time, the hop-on, hop off buses will ensure that you see pretty much everything - but you'll have to decide which attractions you really want to see and get off at those specific stops. Hope that helps?
@@UltimateBucketList Thank you we are going to be docked at Glasgow (Greenville) is that only a couple of Miles from the city……A couple of more questions please. 1. Also we are going to the castle in Edinburgh …. But will be in theses other ports of.Dublin, Belfast, Holyhead Wales, Cork(Cobb). Would you visit castles in each of these ports? If not, what would be your priority list based on these ports like I said, we’re already doing Edinburgh. Thank you for your help. Just not sure we want to visit several different castles unless you reccomended it.
I'm unaware of any place called 'Greenville' in Glasgow, but if you're going to dock where I think you are, again it's only a few miles from the city centre.
Dublin is worth exploring in detail, as is Belfast. To be honest, once you've seen Edinburgh castle, the others are lame in comparison - so just focus on the actual cities themselves.
@@UltimateBucketList Thank you so much.
@@pateministries1235 anytime! I'd say Dublin Castle is worth the trip because of the historical significance but I wouldn't spend your trip just on castles. Lots of interesting things to see in these cities :)
The government plan to link the airport to the city by a metrolink train by 2025 ,but to be honest would n't be that hopeful that will come to fruition.Good guide but the Epic Museum which is about irish emigration is very interesting for tourists who have irish heritage and dublin writers museum for those into the literary side apart from that you covered most of the sights
Yeah for sure. It would make sense to make a Metrolink to the airport, but politicians have a dirty habit of over-promising and under-delivering!
But yeah, apart from a few things like some of the other museums and the Teeling distillery, I think I covered most of what Dublin has to offer?
@@UltimateBucketList You did cover it very well and they have been talking about that link for atleast 30 years
I think the luas to the airport would make more sense alot cheaper and build time would be fraction of time of the metro in process the last 20 years, also could extend the luas to swords.
How bout tour of egypt valley of the kings
I'd love to! I'd love to go to Egypt at the end of the year towards Christmas.
15:16 What's the cereal box about?
Your guess is as good as mine?!
Are you visiting Belfast as part of your Ireland tour?
This was just a city break, but I'll be back in Belfast sometime in the next few months for work related reasons. I'm sure I'll do a video guide then.
@@UltimateBucketList if you decide to go to Belfast and you want to experience the real Northern Ireland go during the marching season.
I’m from Liverpool and I have never been abroad or on holiday - and I’m planning on going to Dublin this year.
Would you recommend Dublin for a first ever holiday?
Yes, absolutely!
For a first holiday, it's pretty good because you're only a 30 minute flight from Liverpool Airport and everyone speaks English.
The weather is exactly the same and they even have Liverpool FC stores in the city.
It'll be very familiar to you, but also very different.
@@UltimateBucketList great, thank you!
Where did you find the dinosaur skeleton ? The zoo ?
Yes Dublin Zoo
How do you like your time in my country from Ruairi Bailey and first comment
Thanks. I like Ireland and every time I go, it's always fun but the weather has never been sunny!
Ninh, great video. Any chance of you visiting Lansdowne Road/Aviva Stadium?
I would have done it then, but they closed the tours due to COVID and have never opened them back up.
I e-mailed them, and I tried. But they remain closed.
What's there to do in Belfast? I'd like to visit there after being in Dublin.
I'll be making a video about it when I visit closer to the summertime, but in short: Titanic Museum, Castles, other Museums, the zoo, the markets ... and I highly recommend catching an ice hockey game!
@@UltimateBucketList okay perfect, thank I did think the best hockey team would be worth visiting.
How much do you think is needed in Dublin for food and drink daily
It's pricier than your average city, but it's not super expensive like it is in Denmark and Iceland.
I’m coming this September for 25th anniversary. Dont want tourist pub. Where do they go to?
To be honest, pretty much everywhere is good. The Temple Bar area is full of nice bars, sadly Temple Bar itself is rather overrated.
St Patrick's and Christchurch Cathedrals are Church of England or Anglican.
Okay
if i’m going for a week, is there an exact amount of money i need to prove that i have? if so what amount? i know they say you have to have proof of money to accommodate your stay. but how much is enough to them? i just don’t want to bring what i believe i will need and then it not be enough? i would hate for tsa not let me go because of that
Hi - thanks for stopping by.
I know you have to provide proof of funds if you're a student or you're working there, but I'm unaware that you have to provide that as a tourist?
I think the only thing they ask for is the name of the hotel you're staying at, and that's it.
I've flown to Ireland many times, I've never been checked ... and I don't know any other visitor that has.
I think if you take a sensible amount of cash, you'll be fine. But everyone knows that most people use cards anyway.
Do Edinburgh next please 🙏
Ummm, I already made a video about Edinburgh right here: czcams.com/video/Gk_xFepkXag/video.html
@@UltimateBucketList oh thanks
Is there a Indian restaurant in Dublin.
Yes, there are many.
and avoid Jobstown
Yes
Better than the average Dublin guide and glad that you mentioned some places (like Croke Park and the National Gallery) that many other guides fail to do. Don’t agree with your comment about the Book of Kells - there is a lot of information included that will certainly take more than 30 seconds to read. And the Library is iconic and much raved about by most visitors. You mentioned the Bank of Ireland but failed to mention that it is the former Parliament of Ireland prior to the Act of Union and you can still visit the Irish House of Lords inside. If there was one place to miss I would suggest the Guinness Storehouse - way over rated. But everyone to their own. While you did mention the National Gallery you failed to mention the Hugh Lane Gallery which is worth a visit alone to see the Francis Bacon studio which was donated and reassembled here. You mentioned the Gardens at the Royal Hospital but failed to mention that this iconic building houses the Modern Art Museum. Another fabulous art museum is the Royal Hibernian Academy. All these institutions host wonderful concerts and lectures. While you did mention one of the branches of the National Museum you did not include the wonderful Museum of Decorative Arts and History housed in the former Collins Barracks. You did not show the wonderful Georgian Squares and historic Henrietta Street. You showed the Spire on O’Connell St but failed to mention the GPO, and it’s attached museum, which was the HQ for the 1916 Easter Rising. You talked about the Phoenix Park but failed to mention that it also includes Farmleigh House which is open to the public if heads of states are not staying there. Also, in the Phoenix Park is Áras an Uachtaráin, the former Vice Regal lodge and now home to the President of Ireland, which can also be visited. You failed to mention the plethora of theatres and performance spaced - the Gaiety Theatre, the Abbey Theatre, The Gate Theatre, the National Concert Hall, Bord Gais Theatre, the 3 Arena, the Helix, the Project, Smock Alley, to name just a few. And probably the most overlooked gem in Dublin’s crown, the Casino Marino which is the most important neo-classical building in Ireland. And if you are really interested in gardens a visit to the Botanic Garden is a must. Close by is Glasnevin Cemetery where many famous Irish people are buried and should not be missed. Dublin also has some spectacular walks - Howth Head on the north side, the Bull Wall at the mouth of the River Liffey and spectacular Killney Hill on the south side. A visit to Killiney should include the famous James Joyce Tower in Sandycove. While Dublin Airport is certainly the major entry point for many visitors you can also fly into Ireland to it’s many other regional airports such as Cork, Belfast, Kerry and Ireland West. Flights from the US also fly into Shannon Airport. And of course you don’t have to fly as Ireland is also served by many ferry routes from both Britain and the Continent.
Thanks for commenting. Obviously, this isn't a concise compendium of everything and every way of Dublin - it's a basic city guide highlighting what a general tourist should know before coming here.
My wife is currently working in Dublin and I’ve been 3 times in the last 5 months. My first image of Dublin, dirty. There is trash on the sidewalks almost everywhere I went. The people have their heads buried in their cell phones and will literally walk into you. I don’t think its the Irish citizens, but all the people that are there working. Once you get out of Dublin, the scenery is beautiful. Every country has its beautiful places. The Grand Canyon is magnificent and the Smokies are just as beautiful. My 2 cents
I'll admit, it's not the cleanest city I've ever been to. But it definitely wasn't bad and the people I encountered weren't rude or anything.
But yeah, Ireland has some idyllic locations everywhere once you get out of the big cities.
Shut up it is lovely
Why is the stadium unfinished? It looks bad!
The stadium is finished. And it doesn't look bad at all.
They had to lower 1 stand due to a block of houses behind the lower end they could not get planning permission.
This was a great video. Ireland was colonized by the UK would be a better description
I don't go into politics. That would defeat the purpose of it being a travel guide.
The video was really good but you enphasised a bit too much about how pricy Dublin is, perhaps it would have bee better to finish the video on a happe note.
But sadly this is a fact. If it wasn't expensive, I wouldn't mention it.
This video is made for people who want to visit, and they have to know about it before they go.
It's like making a video about Dubai and not mentioning that it can get very hot.
Dublin is not safe to visit changed after lockdown. Been several attacks on tourists recently it is dirty and dangerous. Do your research and think about going somewhere else. Rest of Ireland is awesome. Also very expensive.
You make it sound like it's Baghdad. It's really not that bad - if you're street smart, you can minimise risk.
Guinness tastes awful actually is repulsive been to Dublin a few time's couldn't wait to get out of it ,your better going to spain or Portugal
Taste is subjective of course, and so are cities.
Some people might like Dublin and hate the heat of Spain, others might hate Dublin and prefer Portugal.
