Mentioned by Tripadvisor's Top Things to Do
Top things to do in the Province of Leinster
"The last item on our list is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of modern architecture in the city. The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre was designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind in 2010, and its contemporary, angular style ties in perfectly with its home in the ultra modern Grand Canal area. The design ties into its theatrical theme with a striking composition of a ‘red carpet’ with bright resin-glass paving extending from the theatre, covered with distinctive red glowing angled light sticks."
"Designed by Studio Libeskind in 2010, the Grand Canal Square formed an important milestone for the redevelopment of the Dublin Docklands area. The 2000-seat theater is based on the concept of stages: the stage of the theater, the stage of the piazza, the stage of the multiple lever lobby above the piazza."
"One of my all time favourite memories as a child was visiting the Gaiety Theatre with my grandmother. She use to take us once a year and I absolutely loved it. Things haven’t changed too much at The Gaiety but it remains a prominent influence on Irish arts and theatre."
"Located in Temple Bar, the Project Arts Centre has become a leader in contemporary artistic practice in Dublin and in Ireland. It also hosts local and international festivals like the Dublin Writers Festival, the Dublin Theatre Festival or the Dublin Fringe Festival."
"Tucked away in the historic cobbled streets of Temple Bar is Project Arts Centre, Dublin's best kept secret, a venue packed full of surprises."
"Again, you will have done your homework and booked something in advance, we hope (though there always is a chance to get late tickets even for the Abbey Theatre, with a bit of luck). If you are set on enjoying an Irish night out, a large number of pubs offer their services and many also provide entertainment (free or for a small fee in most cases). Just follow the crowds, which will, more than likely, bring you to the Temple Bar area."
"This Arts Centre in Dundrum has a range of events and programmes, but in particular they have a great programme for children. In July they also run performance summer camps."
"The Dublin donut chain serves up delicious donuts that are famed for their fantastic flavours. From pistachio salted caramel to maple bacon and even GIN flavours, there's no donut craving these sugary treats can't satisfy."
"For a long time, the little Rolling Donut kiosk on O’Connell Street was the only place to get them in town."
"You don't have to eat Krispy Kreme to know what a real American donut tastes like. As the name suggests, these gorgeous donuts are like a bite of American life with flavours such as s'more, cookie monster and of course the famous Boston creme."
"I’m always intrigued by the flavors, from every chocolate combo imaginable to the above pictured lemon meringue and banoffee options at Offbeat Donuts."
"This is the perfect place to go to if you want to capture water and nature. Moreover, going to this beach is a very fun thing to do when you're in Dublin. So it's not only great for photography, but you'll also have an amazing day if you go here."
"This romantic city centre restaurant is the perfect place for an Italian-style date night. The simple menu is jam-packed with delicious pasta and pizza dishes made from local ingredients, freshly cooked to order. Pacino's also offers an affordable early bird menu, perfect for a pre-show dinner."
"Pacino's is serving authentic Italian cuisine that's freshly cooked to order and paired bottles from their dedicated sommelier. One of the most sought-after Italian restaurants in Dublin city centre, it creates a sense of amore with its atmospheric dimmed lighting and exquisite classics."

"Stepping into Foam Cafe is like stepping into another world, one full of flower garlands, mirrors and clashing prints over two floors. It's hidden away on Strand Street Great, just a stone's throw from the new Italian Quarter just off the quays. Setting itself apart from the usual coffee shop fare Foam Café has a broad range of things on offer but their flagship dish is the humble omelette."
"This is a local for me and place you may not encounter if you are visiting Dublin for abroad but we love it. Relaxed and laid back, they have a lovely weekend brunch catering for kids too. My two are obsessed with the blueberry pancakes and the ‘not so hot’ chocolate just for them but you have also savoury options available with brunch favourites such as scrambled eggs."
"This Portobello café stunned me twice this year - once upon a "first look" visit and a few months later while on the hunt for the tastiest pancakes in Dublin. Run by an Argentinian lady whose parents and siblings have also moved over since it opened to lend a hand. There are four sisters in the family, which gives Alma its name - each letter representing a sister."
"Bright and cheery Alma in Portobello is a relative newcomer on the Dublin breakfast scene. The seasonal ingredients are sourced locally but the menu has an Argentinian twist. Stop in for the bestseller, Choripan Argento, which is Argentine chorizo and a fried egg on sourdough with chimichurri, salsa criolla, caramelized onions, and a spicy hit of sriracha."
"Alma in Portobello are giving away a free coffee with every pancake order today. They're also selling a pancake set on their website here."
