And where do all good writers love to hang out if not the pub? This laid-back and enjoyable activity is about as typically Irish as they come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running since 1988, the Dublin Literary Pub Crawl is a truly unique way to get to know the capital and delve into its fascinating history of letters. Brought to life by professional actors who regale you with stories of the gin palace, the spirit grocer or the long hall, quoting Joyce, Behan, and the like, the tour is more street theatre than traditional pub crawl. Experience the language of the literary greats on the very streets they used to walk. Naturally, alongside the stories, the poems, and the history is the chance to enjoy all kinds of fantastic spirits, whiskeys, and some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/best-guinness-in-dublin\">best Guinness in Dublin<\/a> served in some of the city\u2019s most beautiful historic pubs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/the-duke-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/the-duke-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/the-duke-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/the-duke-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/the-duke-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/the-duke.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The pub crawl starts at The Duke, one of Dublin&#8217;s oldest pubs.

So, chances are you\u2019re probably wondering why on Earth it makes this list about Dublin. A lesser-known fact, perhaps, is that Santiago is the Spanish equivalent of Saint James. Indeed, in English, <em>El Camino<\/em> is also known as St. James\u2019 Way, and Irish pilgrims have long their very own starting point right on the doorstep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At St. James\u2019s Church, The Camino Society still issues the Pilgrim Passport and will impart the first stamp of your journey. Handily, the very next stamp is right next door &#8211; at the Guinness Storehouse. There\u2019s a long history between St. James\u2019s Gate and the famous pilgrimage. And, many a devotee will have sunk a few pints of the black stuff before embarking on their epic trek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/St.-Jamess-Gate-1024x759.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/St.-Jamess-Gate-1024x759.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/St.-Jamess-Gate-600x445.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/St.-Jamess-Gate-768x570.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/St.-Jamess-Gate.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Perhaps one of the most beloved stops on the Camino de Santiago.

Located in a Georgian townhouse on St. Stephen\u2019s Green, this eccentric little spot offers an alternative glimpse into the history of the city through a collection of artifacts and memorabilia donated by the locals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this place really special, though, are the entertaining guided tours. Our personal favorite is the \u201cAfter Hours Tour,\u201d. This is a unique blend of history, humour, and hospitality all washed down with a nice glass of wine. What more could you possibly ask for from your trip to Ireland?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Little-Museum-of-Dublin-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Little-Museum-of-Dublin-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Little-Museum-of-Dublin-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Little-Museum-of-Dublin-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Little-Museum-of-Dublin.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Filled with so many unusual objects and memorabilia, this museum is definitely unique.

Lush green landscapes are of course synonymous with the Emerald Isle, but are not always associated with fast-paced city life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These three concealed gems will give you cause for pause on your trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Designed by Ninian Niven in 1865 and popularly known as Dublin\u2019s \u2018Secret Garden\u2019, Iveagh Gardens sit a stone\u2019s throw from St Stephen\u2019s Green in the city centre. Many of the original landscape features are still present today. Work your way through the yew maze, saunter around the rosarium, and soak up the tranquillity of the various cascades and the fountains that provide a calming soundtrack to the whole experience .\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The National Botanic Gardens are located 3km outside the center of town but are well worth the trip. These exquisitely restored glass houses in Glasnevin are home to a striking array of rare and exotic plants that you\u2019d never expect to find in a town that is hardly known for its clement climate.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within the boundaries of the famous Phoenix Park, lies the Victorian Walled Kitchen Garden. This two and a half-acer space in the grounds of Ashtown Castle has been lovingly restored to its original Victorian layout. It  offers fascinating insights into the horticultural practices of the Dickensian era.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roads-in-Dublin-near-St-Patricks-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Roads around Dublin city center\" class=\"wp-image-20195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roads-in-Dublin-near-St-Patricks-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roads-in-Dublin-near-St-Patricks-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roads-in-Dublin-near-St-Patricks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roads-in-Dublin-near-St-Patricks.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Finding hidden gardens is one of the unique things to do in Dublin when the weather is good.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Behind_bars_A_visit_to_Kilmainham_Gaol\"><\/span>Behind bars: A visit to Kilmainham Gaol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While an old jailhouse may not top your list of sites to see on a city break, we can promise you a visit to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilmainhamgaolmuseum.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kilmainham Gaol<\/a> definitely makes for an interesting way to learn about Ireland\u2019s tumultuous history. More than just a unique site in Dublin, however, the former prison, which is now a museum, provides a fascinating look back at the country\u2019s struggles for independence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guided tours take you through its bleak corridors and claustrophobic cells. All while offering a striking look at the harsh conditions endured by political prisoners during historic moments like the Easter Rising. The Stone-Breakers\u2019 Yard, where leaders of the 1916 uprising were executed, leaves a lasting impression and offers a uniquely sobering experience for those keen to understand more about the country\u2019s complex past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kilmainham-Gaol-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kilmainham-Gaol-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kilmainham-Gaol-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kilmainham-Gaol-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kilmainham-Gaol.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A trip to this bleak prison is definitely a unique Dublin experience.
