See the Book of Kells (9th-century illuminated Gospels, €18). The Long Room library is one of the world's most-photographed reading rooms.

Guinness Storehouse

Iconic 7-floor brewery experience ending with a pint in the Gravity Bar at the top (Dublin panorama). €30 entry, book ahead.

Temple Bar + Grafton Street

35 min from DUB

Touristy + iconic. Cobblestone streets, traditional pubs, live music. Skip Temple Bar pub itself (tourist prices) — try The Cobblestone (Smithfield) instead.

Two of Ireland's most-historic cathedrals, both €11. Christ Church is older (1030s) but St Patrick's is more atmospheric.

Local tip

DUB has no train link — Airlink Express bus (€8, 30 min) is the smart choice direct to centre. Avoid Bus 16 with luggage — 60 min + multiple stops. For Brexit-related travel: Dublin is the Star Alliance Aer Lingus hub + has US Customs preclearance (saves time on US arrival).
