I can’t believe it has been four years since I last visited Dublin. The time sure has flown. Dublin is one of my favorite cities, and when I visit, I always feel at home. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help out with directions if you ever get lost. The places I enjoyed visiting in Dublin were the Guinness Storehouse, seeing Celtic Nights at the Arlington hotel, doing a Hop on Hop off bus tour, Dublin zoo, and the Jameson Distillery. First, the Guinness Storehouse is Dublin’s most visited attraction. The inside is the shape of a pint glass consisting of seven floors. It is hard to believe that it’s only made with four ingredients which include water, barley, hops, and yeast. Secondly, Celtic Nights is one of the best dinner shows in Dublin and runs seven nights a week. The singers and dancers love getting the audience involved throughout the show. It is also recommended to customers that they book early because seating does go quickly. By day three, when your feet hurt a little, the bus tour is a great way to learn about the history of Dublin while enjoying the Irish scenery and the main attractions around Dublin. Some of the places that the bus tour visits include the Guinness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery, Christ Church Cathedral, Dublina, Dublin Castle, Dublin Zoo, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The Dublin zoo is a great kid friendly activity. They house up to 400 animals including the endangered ones such as the grey wolf, Asian lion, Asian elephant, African painted dog, and the Amur tiger. Finally, the Jameson distillery allows tourists to take a tour throughout the distillery allowing them to learn the history of the whiskey, how it’s made, and the comparison between two other whiskeys. During my time in Dublin, I truly enjoyed everything I did, but the Guinness Storehouse and the Celtic Nights had to be my favorite. The weather was often sunny in the morning, and then turned cool with a drizzle in the evening. So, be sure to dress appropriately for the chilly rain. I definitely look forward to going back soon!

Celtic Nights at the Arlington Hotel

One of the best dinner shows I’ve seen in Dublin is the Celtic Nights at the Arlington Hotel, right next to the O’Connell Bridge. Celtic Nights is considered to be the best Irish show in Dublin. They run seven nights a week, offering a three course dinner, drinks, live music, and professional Irish dancing. I really enjoyed how the musicians and the dancers got the audience involved both with singing and dancing. Seating is in long tables giving you the opportunity to meet other people. The food that was served was very delicious. My favorite was the assortment of desserts which included a Lemon Curd Tartlet, Chocolate and Guinness Mousse, and a Strawberry Fool. I would definitely see this show again if I go back to Dublin, and I would also recommend it to anyone looking for a nice evening out in Dublin! I would also recommend booking your reservations early because the event does book up quickly! If you are interested in checking out the Celtic Nights online, click here:http://celticnights.com
