The next site on your tour of Dublin is one that, in Ireland, speaks for itself - Saint Patrick's Cathedral. As legend has it, the site of the Cathedral is where Saint Patrick stopped on his journey through Ireland to baptize people from a nearby well in the 5th century.
Now, it is the national cathedral for the Church of Ireland and a pilgrimage site for people from around the world. There is a small fee to enter which can be purchased online or on the day of your visit. Take a look at the calendar on the Cathedral's website for special events, such as evening choirs or services, you may wish to experience.
Additionally, the Cathedral is also home to a lovely park with a small outdoor cafe where you can join the locals in soaking up any good weather.
If the weather isn't on your side, duck into Marsh’s Library just around the corner. This library is three hundred years old and completely unchanged. It was where Bram Stoker studied and Jonathan Swift used to read!
