City Center

• Start on Trinity University and if you have time go in and see the Old Library and Books of Keels
• Walk Grafton Street and enjoy the vibe and music (on weekends)
• Have a walk on St Stephen’s Green park
  • This park was the place where there was a major fight against english invaders in 1916. You can find a ton of history there, as this is considered the beginning of Irish independence
• If you are hungry grab a Perfect Combo and a coffee on the Beanhive Cafe
• Walk until the George’s Arcade and enjoy the tons of pubs all around and the old Georgian building
• Walk by the Temple Bar and take some pictures. You can go in and have a pint, Music and ambiance are amazing but the price is quite high.
• Finish with a walk on the Liffey river
  • See the Ha’penny bridge where it used to cost 1 penny to cross
  • You can see the famine memorial in honor of the millions of Irish who died of several famines (including the great genocide of 1880)
  • See the Dublin Spire

If you have extra time you can:

I wanted to go to Northern Ireland since I first heard of the magnificent Giant’s Causeway. Since it was a short drive from Dublin, we decided to rent a car and do a trip there. Because we never get the car, we decided not to go to Belfast, which we could easily go by train.

Day 1

We left Dublin early morning and headed to Northern Ireland. There is no border from one country to the next, which makes the transition from Km/h to Miles/h quite confusing for us.

We arrived in Faro late on Tuesday evening. We stayed in Faro GuestHouse. The room was nice and there was a lovely balcony where we shared a bottle of wine on our first night with a view to a church.

Day 1 - Faro

We woke up and went to the Igreja do Carmo, which is a beautiful church but the reason we went there was to see this small chapel made out of human bones. The ticket costed €4 euro each.
