    Hey all,

    My bf is coming over for the weekend and I don't really know where to bring him! Haven't lived in Dublin for a while so a bit lost on this.

    Any advice is appreciated!:D

    IMMA is a nice way to spend a rainy afternoon.

    The exhibitions running at the moment are all free as far as I know.

    Museums are free - so Natural History museum, National Gallery, Collins Barracks and Kildare street are all options.

    Kilmainham gaol is very cheap for a guided tour, about 3 euro I think? The Jameson distillery tour is about half the price of the Guinness tour too, 8 ish euro.

    Take the DART to bray from the city for the views, or go visit Howth and walk to the summit.

    €13, though you get 10% off for booking online.

    The Chester Beatty Library in Dublin Castle is free.

    Kilmainham Jail is 8 euro I think, a great tour. I've been on it three times now.

    It's not really a tour, you kinda just do your own thing but it is cool pulling your own pint and the 360 bar at the top is pretty cool, some view of Dublin.
