National Transport MuseumThe National Transport Museum was established by the Transport Museum Society of Ireland. This collection is Ireland’s only comprehensive assembly of public and commercial road transport.
Totally voluntary, the Society became a limited company in 1971 and is now a registered charity, operating to international museum standards. |  |
G.P.O.Built in 1814 and sited in the centre of Dublin's main thoroughfare - O'Connell Street, the General Post Office was designed by Francis Johnston. Originally the building was faced by Nelson's Column which was blown up in the 1960s. This has now been replaced by the Dublin Spire. |
North Coast and Castle TourThis tour of Dublin's northern coastline passes the tree lined Griffith Avenue and the Casino at Marino, before visiting stately Malahide Castle, dating from the 12th century, and set amid 250 acres of parkland and gardens. Continuing through the Heritage town of Malahide, the tour will take you past magnificent coastal scenery to the picturesque fishing village of Howth.
Crossing the nearby summit of Howth Head you will have a panoramic view of the huge expanse of Dublin Bay. |  |
Dublin CastleDublin Castle is more of a palace than a castle and is currently used to entertain heads of state. Guided tours of the State Apartments, the Chapel Royal and the Undercroft, where the ancient city walls join the castle, are available. . |  |
Christ Church CathedralStanding on high ground in the oldest part of the city, this cathedral is one of Dublin's finest historic buildings. It dates back to 1038 when Sitric, the then Danish king of Dublin, built the first wood here. In 1171 the original simple foundation was extended into a cruciform and rebuilt in stone by Strongbow, although the present structure dates mainly from 1871 to 1878 when a huge restoration was undertaken. |  |
The Royal Hospital KilmainhamThe Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Kilmainham, Dublin is one of the finest 17th-century buildings in Ireland. The hospital was built in 1684 by Sir William Robinson, official State Surveyor General for James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to King Charles II, as a home for retired soldiers and continued in that use for over 250 years. The style is based on Les Invalides in Paris with a formal facade and a large courtyard. |  |
Corkagh Park FisheryThe lakes at Corkagh Park Fishery are the biggest leisure angling lakes in Dublin. Opened in June of 2004, this superb fishery comprises two lakes that together form approximately seven acres of fishing space.
The lakes are easily accessible for disabled anglers with several fishing stands and piers located around both lakes. |  |
ImaginosityImaginosity is Dublin’s first interactive children’s museum, a place specially designed for children, where their imagination and their innate curiosity are given free reign to explore the world around them.

Ayesha CastleThis castle got its name from Ayesha, the goddess in H Rider Haggard's fantasy novel She who carried the eternal flame and was forever youthful. It was purchased by Enya, an internally renowned Celtic singer in 1997. It is a splendid, six-bedroomed Victorian castle on Victoria Road in the charming seaside village of Killiney, located south of Dublin. |  |
Temple Bar Gallery & StudiosUndoubtedly Dublin's finest contemporary gallery, with the most enviable location in the city. TBG&S, as it is known, was established by arty pioneers when rents were cheap and the area was destined to become a bus station. Thankfully, the gods of urban design had a very different fate in mind, and now the gallery is the flagship of the city's official cultural quarter. |  |

Merrion SquareThis elegant Square, adorned by an attractive public park, retains much of its Georgian character. Inset in the railings is the restored Rutland Fountain. Plaques on the walls of the Georgian mansions recall famous occupants, for example Daniel O'Connell, W. |  |
Waterways Visitor CentreThe Irish Waterways Visitor Centre is located in one of the waterways it celebrates - the 1796 Grand Canal Dock. In true Dublin fashion, the building has received the moniker of the 'box in the dock's' from Dubliners due to its form made of the primary elements of a cube and cylinder. The services area of the building including toilets and staff areas are incorporated into a structure on the quay wall with visitors passing through this acrross a 3m long walkway to the main centre. |  |
National Museum of Ireland -Deco Arts & HistoryNational Museum of Ireland- Decorative Arts and History. Collins Barracks could be said to be the National Museum of Ireland's largest artefact, having had a unique history all of its own in another life.

South Coast and Gardens TourDublin’s beautiful south coast is seen at its best from a double-deck touring bus. Along the great sweep of Dublin Bay, past Dun Laoghaire’s elegant promenade and yacht-filled harbour, to James Joyce’s Tower at Sandycove the sea views are unsurpassed.
Turning inland, the tour climbs into the beautiful Wicklow Mountains and continues through the enchanting old-world village of Enniskerry to Powerscourt Estate. |  |
Powerscourt Townhouse CentreThe recently refurbished Powerscourt Townhouse is one of the classier shopping centres in town, favoured by upwardly mobile types and those who enjoy the finer things in life.

National Museum of Ireland - Natural HistoryThe Museum of Natural History will be closed to the public until further notice in order to carry out some refurbishments. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Ashtown CastleAshtown Castle is a fortified house in the Phoenix Park. It was found hidden within the walls of a much larger and more recent building that was being used by the Papal Nuncio until 1978. At that time, the more recent and larger building was deemed structurally irreparable due to dry rot. |  |
Trinity CollegeTrinity College builds on its four-hundred-year-old tradition of scholarship to confirm its position as one of the great universities of the world, providing a liberal environment where independence of thought is highly valued and where staff and students are nurtured as individuals and are encouraged to achieve their full potential.
