Bucket list for dublin

vg88

As in my previous thread i'm emigrating. Leaving on friday. Currently sitting in james for my last platelet donation now and planning to see the gpo and a few other things after.

So after hours, 3 days left in dublin what should i do and see before i go? Or what would you do and see?

Friday, eh? That's plenty of time to get on a bus and go see somewhere nice instead.

Sure isn't all of Dublin in the Bucket District? Better known as 'The Pail'?

You could book a ticket to see some of Leonardo Da Vinci's artwork in the National Gallery on Wednesday or Thursday. You won't see them there again.

Also:

have a pint in the Gravediggers in Glasnevin, and do the tour of the cemetary.
Take a trip to Kilmainham Gaol.
Have some ice cream from Teddy's in Dun Laoghaire, then walk along the pier.
Feed some ducks in St Stephen's Green.

There's a photography exhibition about last years marriage referendum in a gallery somewhere in Temple Bar I think. I was going to go there myself when I was up, but I was too exhausted and just headed home on the train.

You'll need to get a few pints of the black stuff in and then a burdocks for soakage of course.

Take the train to Greystones, walk back along the cliff path to Bray.

Cycle along the coast to Dun Laoghaire, Coliemore Rd and on to Ballybrack. Say hello to the seals in Bullock Harbour and Dun Laoghaire Harbour while you're there.

Train to Howth, visit the National Transport Museum and walk along Howth Head. Take the bus back along the coast, jump off at the turn to Dollymount strand and walk along the beach back to Clontarf.

Walk/cycle out to the end of the North Bull and/or South Bull.

Rent a bike, cycle up to Bohernabreena Resevoir and back along the Dodder to Ringsend.

Visit the Little Museum of Dublin.

Marsh's Library is an odd, but nice and quiet place.

Croke Park Museum is worth a visit if you've an interest in sport.

Pints in Grogans, McDaid's, Mary's Bar or JJ Smyths in the evening.

A Dublin bucket list activity should always include leaving Dublin for somewhere like Wicklow...

Sit in a traffic jam full of 161 Audi's and BMW's with bikes hanging off the back (bicycle rack only bought today in Halfrauds). Get a bollicking from a bunch of bad cyclists on expensive bikes who reckon you did something wrong

reason vs religion

If it's a sunny day, walk up the drive to Kilmainham Hospital, with its walled garden and maze. Continue past the sloping field to the back arch, which leads to Kilmainham Gaol. Skip the jail (it's a sunny day, remember?!) and follow the road over to the entrance to the War Memorial Gardens. Walk alongside the Liffey upstream, crossing over at Chapelizod, and into by Pheonix Park by one of the side entrances. Clamber up the hill, perhaps passing the magazine fort, and on to Fifteen Acres, the massive expanse with the Papal cross. Walk into the centre, sit down and be overwhelmed by thoughts of what you're leaving... Then along the Nirth Circular and into Phobsborough for a pint

If it's a rainy day...I dunno, cinema?

Get out to the countryside or outside of Dublin for a few hours! Just sit in a field or on a hill and take in the landscape and reflect on the beauty of Ireland (obviously weather permitting)

Rob a cash-in-transit van.

Sure you're leaving the country anyway.

Wait for a sunny day, grab a coffee and stroll up and down Grafton Street listening to the buskers.
Feed the ducks in the green then grab a pint and a toasty in Grogans. Be sure to sit outside and watch the city go by.

Great trail there. The walk from Royal Hospital up the Avenue to Kilmainham is great. In fact everything in your post is great. Thanks.

Obviously try to get a ride before you go. Google a strategy.

Take a walk up tick nock & get a birds eye view of Dublin.
Maybe do the walk back down to stepaside & have a pint in the beer garden at the blue light pub.
Take a photo of Dublin from high before you go!

Burger Please

Try to pass the time as quickly as possible, until you can finally get out of this dump of a country!

Botanic gardens on a nice day.

Go and see the mummies in St Michan's church. Under the church, in the crypt.

Word to the wise: These mummies are not of the yummy mummy kind.
