Good to know

How many days do you need in Dublin?

Four relaxed days cover a good spread: a park obelisk and Viking museum, the castle and two theatres, three galleries and two Georgian squares, all without hurrying.

Is Dublin city centre walkable for a family?

Most of this four-day route is on foot. The furthest reaches are Wellington Monument in the park on day one and Mountjoy Square on day three, and both are slow, easy stretches.

What is Dublinia?

A museum in the old city that tells the story of Viking and medieval Dublin through models, reconstructions and hands-on exhibits, and a natural stop after John's Lane Church.

Where is the Wellington Monument in Dublin?

In Phoenix Park, west of the city centre, on open ground near the park entrance. The walk out from the centre is part of the visit.

How much time does Phoenix Park need?

The listed day gives the park the better part of a morning: Ashtown Castle, the park paths and Dublin Zoo all sit on its ground, with the Irish Museum of Modern Art as the evening stop. Plan to cross it on foot.

What should I bring for a June day in Dublin?

Sturdy shoes and a water bottle for the Phoenix Park day, and a light layer for the changeable June weather. Long evenings make outdoor stops like the Spire of Dublin and Merrion Square work after dinner.
