Dublin is a city that is well-known, but slightly under the radar. Many people to travel each year but not too many choose Dublin as their vacation destination. Perhaps that’s because they don’t know much about it. Voyagu is here to educate, entertain, and inspire. We’ll see you in Dublin.
Dublin does not have many street signs. For Americans, that is very strange. Street names are more often painted onto the side of buildings, which fade overtime or get covered by greenery or construction debris. Instead of relying on signs, most people rely on landmarks instead. When asking locals for directions, most will say something like, “Go down this street until you get to O’Malley’s Pub, then bank a right and continue on until you get to O’Flannigan’s pub, then take a left and walk until you get to where you’re going.”
Most cities are quiet in the mornings. However, not many cities are most pleasant to see in the morning. There is something about walking around Dublin at eight o’clock in the morning that feels peaceful and serene. No lines, no crowds, which will all generate by noontime. Take advantage of the morning serenity and go to bed early one night.
When traveling, many people get new cell service plans. Many of them have Wi-Fi and cellular data, but some don’t. If you happen to choose a plan that does not include unlimited data and/or Wi-Fi, don’t fret. Dublin is an extremely internet-friendly city. Almost every café, bar, and restaurant is equipped with Wi-Fi. Don’t feel like you need to purchase anything either; baristas at Dublin cafes are accustomed to people stepping in to use the Wi-Fi to plan their next destination and then traveling to said destination. Take advantage of these opportunities instead of getting lost.
Guinness beer is an Irish staple that has been around since the 18th century; and it isn’t going anywhere. Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on the disused St. James Gate brewery in 1759. Don’t worry if you haven’t tried a Guinness Stout yet; it’ll be around for a long time.
The O’Connell Street Monument is also called “The Liberator” after political leaders who fought for the restoration of Ireland. If you look closely, you can see bullet holes on the right shoulder and plinth, coming from the Easter Rising of 1916. Go sneak a peek at history.
Zoos all over the world are fun. However, this particular zoo has a unique claim to fame that makes it a worthwhile addition to your trip to Dublin. The famous MGM lion was born in the Dublin zoo. Dublin’s lion, has been the face of MGM since 1957. The current lion, Leo, is the eighth cat to hold this important role.
Ireland is famous for drinking, especially Guinness. But don’t come to Dublin expecting to drink all night. Most pubs close around 11:30 PM on weeknights and 1 AM on weekends.
The Irish accent is a tricky one. It’s hard to practice and even harder to master. Don’t be that tourist who drunkenly mocks the accent of the country you are in. Irish people tend to take great offense to those who make fun of them.
Like Washington DC, Dublin has many free museums. Don’t waste time by waiting in line for tickets. Just go in and learn something new!
There are 5 major airports in London. Business class flights are offered at each.
The best time to visit Dublin is anytime between the months of June and August. Not necessarily because of the pleasant weather, but because of the festivals. During the summer months, Dublin explodes into a firework of festivals. Come eat street food, dance at musical performances, and enjoy local merriment.
