After a rich breakfast buffet at the hotel, you can let yourself drift along Grafton Street. This pedestrian street connects St. Stephen's Green with Trinity College and is Dublin's main shopping centre. Here you will find everything your heart desires: from well-known brands to unusual items and second-hand shops. There is also the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre and the upscale Powerscourt Centre nearby if you want to go shopping.

Before you move on, I recommend that you visit a bar or café for a small snack. Brewley's is a good place to do that. It belongs to an Irish coffee house chain with a long tradition, which is also reflected in the stylish interior. The café is perfect for a teatime with traditional scones!

Right next to it, in the heart of the city, you will see Dublin Castle, whose grounds have played an important role in Irish history since the land was used by the Vikings to build a fortress in 930 AD. Since then, over time, parts have been built and demolished. The oldest preserved building dates back to the 13th century. You can find out more about the history directly in the museum for 10 euros, where you can also visit the interior.

Five minutes away on foot is Temple Bar. This district, which is often compared to Bourbon Street in New Orleans, is Dublin's famous party centre. During the day, it thrives on its artistic vision of numerous independent galleries and venues. At night, dozens of pubs open their doors. So you can experience Dublin's culture at any time of day.

For dinner I recommend the Kathmandu Kitchen Nepalese & Indian Restaurant. It is not far from Temple Bar, so you can return afterwards to participate in Dublin's nightlife. The restaurant also offers the best chicken tikka masalla in town. But be careful: All in all the food is quite spicy. Just typical Indian and Nepalese cuisine.
