St. Stephen's Park is Dublin's most beloved urban green lung, spread over nine hectares of beautiful scenery.

Most of the buildings around the square were built in the mid-18th century, when the park was just finishing its landscaping and became the central attraction of Dublin in King George's time. The main entrance to the park now sits below the Musketeers' Arch (Fusiliers' Arch) at the end of Grafton Street. Designed to look like a scaled-down version of the ancient Roman Triumphal Arch of Titus, the arch commemorates the 212 soldiers of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers who died for Great Britain in the Boer War.
The east side of the park is a children's playground, and on the south side there is an old and beautiful music bandstand, built in 1887 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne. Musical performances are often held here in the summer.

Like the Cathedral of Christ, the cathedral has had a thrilling history, suffering storm and fire damage and undergoing several alterations.

The deer were first introduced to the park in 1662, when the land, which had belonged to the Knights of Jerusalem, was converted into a royal hunting ground, which was opened to the public in 1745 by the governor-general, Lord Chesterfield, and has remained so ever since. The park's name, Phoenix, has nothing to do with the mythical phoenix, but is a corruption of the Irish word fionnuisce, meaning "clear water".
Kilmainham Gaol
Adults/Children 7/3
If you're even remotely interested in learning about Ireland's history, and especially the highlights of the revolt against British rule, you won't want to miss the chance to visit this former prison. Built between 1792 and 1795, this somber gray building played a role in almost every action during Ireland's difficult quest for independence. The prison was closed in 1924, but it still has a chilling aftermath today.
The excellent audio-visual presentation is followed by a thought-provoking tour of this horrific prison, the largest vacant prison in Europe. In the yard outside the prison is a very out-of-place ship - the Asgard - which in 1914 managed to break through the British blockade and deliver weapons to the armed nationalist forces.
Guinness Warehouse

You'll learn everything there is to know about Guinness Stout over seven floors, which you can later sample at the GravityBar bar on the top floor with its sweeping views. You can save money by booking tickets online in advance.
Arthur Guinness founded the brewery in 1759, which later expanded all the way to the banks of the River Liffey, taking over both sides of the street and, for a time, its own railroad. At its height in the 1930s, it employed over 5,000 workers and was Dublin's largest corporate employer. Increased automation has reduced the number of workers to around 600, but the brewery still produces 2.5 million pints of Saito a day.
You'll be able to drink your beer at the end of the tour, but before you do, you'll have to walk through a grand and magnificent Guinness song and dance show in a 1.6-hectare venue with tons of audio-visual and interactive displays covering almost every aspect of the brewery's history and brewing process.
Hardcore fans can opt for a Connoisseur's Experience at the end of the tour, with a designated bartender presenting the history of four different Guinness beers - Draught, Original, ForeignExtraStout and BlackLager - each offering a delicious taste.
