So this week we're excited to be exploring Dublin and we're planning to spend an entire

week here. This video is going to highlight 25 things to do around the city.

Dublin is where most trips in Ireland begin, so before seeing the rest of the country,

Audrey and I spent a whole week getting to know the capital. When the weather cooperated

we walked around the city, toured Trinity College, and visited the botanical gardens,

and when it poured rain as it often does in this part of the world, we just popped into

a pub for some Irish stew and a pint of Guinness. The following video will show you a few of

the different things to do in Dublin, Ireland. Enjoy!

So today we are back on University grounds. Thankfully not as students. We are just visiting

Trinity College Dublin but the real name of it. Listen to this - it's College of the Holy

and undivided trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin. Quite the mouthful, right?

So we've signed up to take a tour. We're going to be visiting the grounds, the library and

Trinity College was founded in 1592 and it is the oldest university in Ireland. The campus

is open to visitors interested in touring the grounds, and you'll also get to hear some

fascinating stories of famous students, including the likes of Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift,

So we came all the way out to Phoenix Park on the west end of Dublin because we were

told that you can see wild deer here. And we were lucky enough to spot one. So we're

like quietly tiptoeing towards it and we were able to see it and it was so cool.

I've been really enjoying this park. It is a great place to get outside the city center

and it is massive. We've only explored a mere fraction of it.

Easily one of the most popular attractions here in Dublin is the Guinness Storehouse.

And I've had a friend who has visited here and told me about the experience. And it really

is basically just like an experience. You go in and it is almost like a museum. You

have all of these different interactive rooms, there is interactive multimedia and at the

very top there is a bar where you get a complimentary pint and you have really good panoramic views

The Guinness Storehouse is Dublin's most popular attraction, and it's a must-visit for beer

lovers. The Storehouse covers seven floors surrounding a glass atrium shaped like a pint

of Guinness. Inside you'll also find a copy of the 9,000 year lease signed by Arthur Guinness

on the brewery site - they won't be going anywhere for a while!

Grafton Street is one of the main shopping areas in Dublin. You're likely to find lots

of musicians, buskers, and performers along here, plus you get a good vantage point of

So this afternoon we're doing a battle of the drinks. We are ordering two different

spiked coffees. Sam is getting the Irish Coffee and I'm getting the Baileys Coffee. And we're

What is in your Irish Whiskey? Tell us. Alright, so if you take a look over here you'll notice

that there is cream on the top. And then this is normal coffee which has been enhanced with

sugar. And the secret ingredient here is Jameson Whiskey. Oh, yeah!

That must be good because you're chugging it. That is so good.

I mean I got a big gulp of cream because it is the first sip but I also really tasted

a lot of the whiskey and of course there is a really strong coffee flavor. And the sugar.

So I got a bit more of a feminine drink instead of whisky.

This one has Baileys cream liqueur. So let's try it.

Ooh, you can definitely still taste the alcohol in that.

Yeah, this is nice. And it is really sweet. Like Sam said about his it is almost like

a dessert in a cup. And it is really nice on a cold day.

So I guess it is time for me to try yours. I have a feeling I'm not going to like it

as much because I'm not a big whiskey fan. But here we go.

Mine is sweeter. This one is a lot stronger. It's got a kick to it.

And I feel like if I drank this whole thing I would tumbling by the time I walked out.

So Baileys for the win? Baileys for the win.

So we're here visiting the Botanical Gardens, which is a great green escape, and what we're

really loving about it is because it is slightly outside of the city centre there is hardly

The National Botanic Gardens are located a few kilometers north of the city center, and

you'll find it's a very tranquil place. The gardens were founded in 1795 and today they

Prior to the establishment of Glasnevin Cemetery, Irish Catholics had no place of their own

to bury their dead. This burial ground gave both Irish Catholics and Protestants a place

where they could give their dead dignified burial, and it has since become the resting

place for people of all religions and non religions.

Experience Gaelic Games is a place where you can come and try traditional Irish sports

like hurling and Gaelic football. It's a fun and unique way to take part in an integral

part of Irish culture, and they have programs that cater to groups or independent travelers

So you can't visit Oscar Wilde's former home because it is being used by the American college

Dublin but you can come to the park right across the street and see him here for yourself.

Number One Merrion Square is the former home of Oscar Wilde, and if you walk over to the

park right across the street you'll be able to see a statue of Wilde himself.

Right now I'm visiting Jameson Distillery. And what is cool about this place is that

you can go inside and there is tours of the distillery. There is also a really cool gift

shop, there is a bar, there is a restaurant. So there is a lot to do for just about anyone

who is interested in learning about whisky.

The Old Jameson Distillery is the original site where Jameson Irish Whiskey was distilled

until 1971. It is now a visitor centre that offers both guided tours and whiskey tastings.

We are here in Dublin and it is lunchtime so we've tracked down the oldest pub in the

whole country. We are here at the Brazen Head which apparently dates back to 1198. That's

like what 900 hundred years or so that this place has been around. But I mean obviously

not the whole structure is authentic. It is probably just a few bricks and stones. But

anyways it is the oldest in the country and we're here for lunch.

So you've gone for something a little bit more hearty. Yeah, like this burger is enormous.

It's one of the biggest looking burgers I've had in a while. Oh la lah.

And these fries. These are the thickest cut of fries. Look they're thicker than my finger.

I hope you're planning to share. Hahahaha. I don't know about that.

Well that was a really neat bar. What kind of makes it unique, aside from it being the

oldest pub in all of Ireland of course, is that there is all of these different kinds

of rooms. You can eat outside, you can eat inside a bar and there is a second level up

So Sam is exploring his Viking roots. Not my roots. I am a Viking! Nice outfit.

I'm writing my name in a foreign alphabet. So that's 'A'.

Oh! A Viking toilet and someone is gassy!

So we are now inside a viking home and this is how people would have lived and stayed
