Ive been on the opent top tour bus, Its actually quite interesting, just make sure you dont get the one thats a multi language one with the earphones rather than the live commentary as its liek its talking to primary school kids and if you live in dublin its a bit wtf?! but we got off I think in the park and got one of the live commentary ones back and thats much much better.
Have also done the Ghost Bus and while its expensive its really great fun the tour guide was really good had me jumpy as hell by the end of it though as he kept creeping up on people with a mask on
. Also at the end of it the he asked for a volunteer to unlock the gates of the city and OH jumped at the chance she was quite chuffed with herself

Never been inside:
Christchurch
Coppers, D2, The Palace, Flannery's (and that's GRAND with me!)
The Shelbourne. Would love to go in for a drink, get all dressed up nice
Dublin Castle
Gallery of Photography, Temple Bar
I recently visited the Snail/Secret bar on Fade Street. It was deadly inside, so big! It was a quiet night, but I'd say the smoking garden is jammed on a nice day. Also went to Dice Bar for the first time, it was awesome. Music is VERY loud, but it's good. And they do draught Red Stripe
The Lighthouse Cinema, Smithfield is in uncertain times right now, so I recommend anyone who's never been to take in a film. It's such an amazing space in it self, as well as comfy seats! Also, they do bottles of minerals, not the big watery buckets. It's the little things! Lighthouse.
Wold be a great idea for a beers, the open top bus. And then some pints in the best pubs in Dublin!0 -

As a Dubliner!
I haven't set foot in The George, Copper Faced Jacks or St James's Gate yet.
That's an interesting mix of places, but then I always do feel that going to the George is the gay equivalent of Coppers.
Feel ashamed that I still have made it to Christchurch and also want to visit the remains of St. Valentine.
The Bram Stoker musuem is also on the list, and I think a bunch of us are going to reclaim our childhoods soon and take a trip to the zoo.
Now that I'm in the area, I want to visit the graves of the leaders of the 1916 rising, as it's just around the corner.
Best place in Dublin to visit: The Dead Zoo, without a doubt.0 -
ive nver been in the northside well i have like a few times because some of my cousins are northsiders and went to the ireland italy match in cro park
So you have been to the northside? Sound's a tad trollish.
Are you seriously saying you've never been to the Phoenix Park, the Zoo, O'Connell Street, Henry Street, Collins Barracks, The Point/O2, the Airport, Busaras, Howth, Sutton, Malahide, Chapter 1 etc. etc.... yeah right.0 -

You dont need to get dressed up all nice to go into the Shelbourne. Just walk in, head to the bar and order a pint of Guinness like you would anywhere else.
That's what I do everywhere else! I think I'd make an occasion out of it I never go to nice bars, so if I was to go to one, I'd like to look nice! 0 -

I remember years ago as a kid we'd be passing the Black Church and the old rumour of walking around it 3 times saying the Hail Mary and you'd see the Devil, in my shy childhood, I became terrified of the building, often being afraid to look at it in case the Devil was hanging out around the back of it on the day but it's one of those buildings now that I'd love to get a look inside!

anyhoo
i have never been inside St. Patrick's Catheral
Collins Barracks
Coopers
Jamesons Distillery
aras an uachtarain
the victorian pub in phibsboro - The Hut i think its called
The Gravediggers
i am sure there are loads more but getting loads of great ideas here.
Me and the boy kinda act like tourists in dublin - we like wandering around going to touristy things.
we usual make a list of new places to go during the summer and spend the weekends going to different places.
the liffey cruises is next on our list, just waiting for weather to get a bit warmer.
also we are going to do a 2 hour guided tour of howth0 -

Also never been to Dun Laoghaire (again for shame!) and to walk the pier is on my hitlist.

You're not a true dubliner if you haven't walked out to the end of the south bull wall or walked to the top of 3 rock. I'm not a dubliner btw! But 2 things that are worth doing
i really want to do the walk to the end of south bull wall but is going to sound really strange - i have no i idea how to get there
:o
i have seen photos etc. (not originally from Dublin)0 -

If you have a car it's easy. Coming from the north side, go over the east link toll bridge, head straight through the roundabout and take your first left. The road goes right around to the south bull wall. A bus goes there too, think it's route number 1.0 -
