I only had about 2.5 full days in Dublin, but I really wanted to take a day trip to see the Cliffs of Moher and Galway, so I booked my ticket through Viator to experience the legendary landscape from the dramatic heights of the Cliffs of Moher to the charming streets of Galway—which was a pleasant surprise!

I highly recommend this adventure since they take care of everything, and if you’re jet-lagged like I was, you’ll have plenty of time to take a quick catnap!

If you’re searching for a destination that blends the comfort of home with the thrill of travel, especially for a long weekend, Ireland should be your first choice. I recently spent Veterans Day weekend in Dublin, which provided a perfect introduction to Ireland's seasonal magic.

If you want a memorable holiday celebration in Dublin, visit the Guinness Factory at Christmas for a truly magical experience!

I had no idea when I booked my tickets in early November that the entire site would be decorated with Christmas trees, ornaments, and presents. Watching the iconic Guinness Storehouse transform into a winter wonderland with twinkling lights and festive music was incredible.

Whether you're a fan of Ireland’s famous stout (I’ll have a pint or two a year) or just looking for holiday cheer, there’s something for everyone. I loved it so much that I did my famous headstand in front of the Christmas display before joining the tour!

Dublin is famous for its lively streets, historic landmarks, and a vibrant food scene that caters to all tastes. From cozy cafés hidden in busy neighborhoods to chic dessert spots, Dublin combines tradition with innovation for food lovers. Whether you’re craving a classic Irish breakfast (my first meal in Dublin) or a rich boozy ice cream (who wouldn't want whiskey in ice cream?), there’s always something new to try.

I was excited to explore a few places since most of my meals were at pubs, which I’ll share here. Below are my top three favorite spots you should visit!

When you think of Ireland, you might picture lush green hills, lively folk music, and smooth Guinness pints—many of which you'll enjoy during this trip! But nothing truly captures Irish culture like a traditional pub.

In Dublin, the capital city, pubs are more than just places to grab a drink; their real charm lies in the atmosphere. They’re warm, inviting spaces where people gather—whether to share a laugh, make new friends, or listen to live music. These spots provide both locals and visitors with a cozy place to unwind, share stories, and savor authentic Irish flavors.

Dublin’s pub scene beautifully combines history with modern energy. Some pubs have been around for centuries, filled with tales of poets and rebels, while newer spots are adding fresh vibrancy to the city’s nightlife. From historic pubs to sleek cocktail bars, there’s definitely something to suit everyone.
