You've probably heard that Guinness tastes better in Dublin (fresh from the factory), but what you may not know is that Dublin is a perfect destination for the whole family. No, we're not suggesting you let the kiddies drink a pint. Instead, take them to the Dublin Zoo, to feed the ducks in Stephen's Green or on a picnic in Phoenix Park. Scholars enjoy walking in the literary footsteps of such writers as Yeats and Joyce, while discerning shoppers have their pick of designer boutiques.

Coolmine Equestrian Centre is a top class equestrian facility situated right in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains with awe inspiring views over our Capital City, Leinster and the Irish Sea. Irish owned and managed , Coolmine Equestrian brings the fun, family friendly ideals to life in the Riding School and Equestrian Holiday Centre.
My wife and I, along with a friend of ours, booked a one-hour horse riding lesson, our very first one ever. We always wanted to ride horses but, for some reason, we only decided to do it on the 12th of August, my wife's birthday. I can only say this: we will be back for more. We were all overwhelmed by the service provided: Ger is one hell of a teacher and, along with the rest of the staff who escorted us through some of the most beautiful sceneries we ever had the pleasure of seeing, managed to teach three complete newbies the basics of horse riding and offer us one of the best moments of our lives in the process. My wife says it was the best birthday presents she ever got, I fell in love with Bailey, the beautiful horse I had to pleasure to ride, and we definitely recommend all horse riding lovers to visit this place – great prices, great location, beautiful place, the staff is super-professional and caring and, again, this is a promise: we will be back for more. Well done!

Peaceful garden marking the 50th anniversary of the Irish uprising against the English; contains a famous statue by Oisin Kelly of the Children of Lir, characters from ancient Celtic myth.
Nice memorial for a great cause. Great place to sit and relaxed after visiting the museum across the street. Pretty flowers in April.

Beautiful urban park immortalized in James Joyce's "Ulysses."
This little piece of heaven just at the top of Grafton street has to be on your list to cost. Whether as a couple for a romantic walk throu all the little nooks and crannies designed into the park or going with kids to feed the ducks or swans or go to the playground and bring a picnic for after. And it won't cost you a penny

Beautiful urban park lined with running trails.
There are 8 miles of walls around this magnificent park and at 1750 acres is the largest park in the world. There are many things encompassed in this park. Dublin Zoo which was home to the MGM Lion at one time, Magazine Fort, President's House and the US Embassy. The USA was the first country to recognize Ireland so they got the pick of the litter as to where their embassy would be located in 1927. Inside the park is a Cross Monument where in 1979, Pope John Paul 2 preached to 1.2 million people. There are many large gardens of planted flowers throughout the park and many deer and other animals still run wild on its grounds.

Just north of Dublin Harbour, this is a great place to birdwatch and admire the beautiful sealine view.
My best friend and I love to go for walks there. If possible, try to come on a weekday, on weekends, it can be a little crowded and hard to find a parking spot. The Happy Out coffee shop is perfectly located to grab a hot beverage before or after your walk and you even get to pick your itinerary: on the beach or in the dunes! Great views guaranteed. Tip: if you’re riding your bike, you can park it before the wooden bridge, or before the round about on Causeway Rd!

Bull Island, or North Bull Island is home to Dollymount strand and acres of dunes, rich in flora and fauna. Interesting wooden bridge, hip outdoor Café ( "Happy Out"), a resident seal population (at the Sutton end), swooping birds and delicate flowers that leave you in awe at how they can survive the sometimes-strong sea breezes. Unwind for free! Our family love it!
