Go to Glasnevin Cemetery

There’s something so quintessentially Irish about Glasnevin Cemetery. Weave between the headstones and your guide will know the intertwining secrets of practically each soul who rests there; the friends who became enemies, the lovers and the arch adversaries now buried a hop from one other. It’s probably the best history lesson you can get in the city – NB

While you’re at it: Get nostalgic with a visit to the Little Museum of Dublin, one of the quirkiest museums around.
