Our virtual sightseeing tour of Dublin continues north of the River Liffey, the river that flows through the center of the city. Here, the most significant sights are the GPO and the Custom House, the main centers of the 1916 Easter Rising that led to the Irish War of Independence. The monuments on the prominent O'Connell street also celebrate the important figures in the Irish history.
Afterward, we can cross the Liffey to the Temple Bar area where we can get some fabulous drinks and stay there for the evening to party. Alternatively, we can catch a taxi to the Guinness storehouse for a tour, a fabulous view of Dublin, and a perfect pint of Guinness.
After a tour of the Guinness storehouse, it's only logical to grab a dinner at a local pub. The closest pub to our apartment was The Bleeding Horse, one of the oldest pubs in Dublin.
We loved the cottage pie here.
Their fish & chips were terrific.
For a late evening snack, we loved to stopped by the new Murphy's Ice Cream shop (per advise of Daily Spud). The ice cream here is just amazing, featuring unique flavors including Guinness, Dingle Sea Salt, Burnt Caramel, Pink
Champagne Sorbet, Dark Chocolate, Brown Bread, Fresh Mint, and Kilbeggan Whiskey.
