lived in dublin for 4 months in 2022!!
-get pastries at bread 41
-books upstairs and hodges figgis for bookshops (get the toastie in the cafe inside books upstairs)
-if you like irish lit, the museum of literature is well-curated; james joyce museum in dun laoghaire is in the martello tower from the beginning of ulysses (run by the sweetest elderly volunteers and has a gorgeous view up top)
-phoenix park is huge and gorgeous!!
-groganâs is a great/classic pub
-workmanâs and fibber mageeâs usually have a gig on, good for a dance or two
-a 2am slice of difontaineâs pizza after a workmanâs night out⌠heaven!
if you want to get out of dublin, 20ish minutes on the DART to howth (gorgeous cliff walk/hike, fish & chips) or dun laoghaire (for a swim at forty foot) is a great change of pace!!

get the overground around Hackney ! Itâs pretty!
most of the museums/galleries have free collections (both Tate modern & Tate Britain, national gallery, V&A as already mentioned â V&A definitely worth a visit) . i also love the museum of the home, the photographerâs gallery, & the ICA (ICA has a cinema and brilliant bookshop also, & itâs v near Trafalgar Square so you can combine classic tourist activity with Something more obscure lol!).
I am a big shopping gworl so i actually love dipping around carnaby street and libertys (which is so beautiful inside!).
depends where youre staying etc and if it stays sunny but honestly the quintessential summer thing to do would be : Sit in a pub with a garden !!!!!
& again - as itâs summer - highly recommend finding a gross little club or gig to go to. if Iâm bored I just check resident advisor or dice and see whats coming up.
if youâre comfortable sharing which area youâre staying in then I can send more specific recs hehe

of course I read my lovely genius friendâs senior thesis last year, but I had only read one of the central texts â getting around to reading the other two and then going back to her thesis will be all the more rewarding and satisfying :-)
