Top off a tour of Ireland’s number 1 visitor attraction with a perfectly poured pint of the black stuff.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin was built in the 13th Century to honour St. Patrick, who is, of course, the patron saint of Ireland. It is the main cathedral of the Church of Ireland, the Anglican communion.
Phoenix Park
Phoenix Park is so important to Dublin that it has its own law on the statute books and visitors should be aware that one provision of this is that “no person shall act contrary to public morality in the Park”. So watch your Ps and Qs!

Dublin Zoo is not the only place in the city that you can take a walk on the wild side but it is probably the most popular. A firm favourite with families, the zoo attracts more than a million visitors every year, and they just keep coming.

Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, Tivoli
Great size room, 1 Bedroom. The sofa couch was uncomfortable and cushions don’t stay put. Would be better if it was a normal couch. It really wasn’t useable. Great reception staff. Great area. Great laundry room.
