Musical Pub Crawl of Dublin

You will be brought to four of Dublin’s best pubs for live music to hear traditional Irish music, see professional Irish dancing and tuck into some typical Irish food. You’ll feel as good as Irish after this tour – you’ll know the story of Irish music, have seen the full range of styles of Irish dance and eaten boxty. What is boxty you ask? You’ll have to wait and see!

Happenings Outdoor Cinema

Happenings organises spontaneous outdoor cultural events in Dublin, like outdoor film screenings and yoga in the park. Although its events are typically only publicised 48 hours ahead of time, some seasonal gatherings are scheduled with more notice.  If there aren’t any Happenings events try the Light House cinema’s Event Cinema programme. It regularly broadcasts live international screenings of dance, theatre and art events. Even better, you can bring drinks from the bar into the theatre.

The Mayan course is wheelchair-friendly and is open from 10am to 11pm, seven days a week.

Phoenix Park

One of the largest parks in a European capital city, the Phoenix Park has plenty to offer those seeking some calm and quietness during their visit to Dublin. On a warm day, feeding the ducks and sunbathing by one of the ornamental lakes in the People’s Flower Gardens is a relaxed option, as is taking a walk through the grasslands in search of some of the roughly 400 fallow deer that live in the park. Additionally the park is home to Zoo, or you can take a guided Segway tour for a history lesson of the area. On Saturdays, free guided tours of the President’s residence, Áras an Uachtaráin, are also available.
