Iconic Sights to Hidden Gems

A fast-paced, team-based escape room — perfect for a group of friends who want a playful, competitive 60-minute challenge.
Howth Summit walk — Winter seaside sunset viewpoint
Short family-friendly walk to a viewpoint on Howth Head for a memorable Irish Sea sunset. Choose a well-trodden route suited to strollers/older kids; keep to the main path if weather is blustery.
Howth Harbour — short post-sunset stroll & quick snack

Sunset & panoramic overlook at Killiney Hill Park
A romantic climb to the Killiney Hill viewpoint — sweeping views over Dublin Bay, the Wicklow Mountains and often dramatic winter skies for sunset.
Romantic dinner at Chapter One
An intimate, refined dinner in one of Dublin’s best-loved restaurants — excellent service, seasonal tasting or à la carte options and a romantic atmosphere.
Visit National Gallery of Ireland — calm galleries & benches
Large, warm galleries with seating and wheelchair/elevator access; great for a relaxed art visit without long standing.
Local Tips from the travel experts
Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in Dublin to help you make the most of your visit.
"Order a few big plates to share (Irish and international options) so everyone gets a taste and the bill is easy to split.Request a table in the main dining area or the mezzanine for better acoustics and space for chatting.If anyone prefers quieter spots, ask staff for a more tucked-away table; the venue is large but some areas are livelier than others."
Dinner at The Church Bar & Restaurant
"Pick a snug booth if available — it’s a classic Dublin spot that feels like a private little tea room.Share a slice of cake and warm each other’s hands with a hot chocolate or tea — lovely in December.If you need to buy a warm layer for the evening, the staff can often point you to nearby shops."
Coffee & sweet break at Queen of Tarts (Dame Street)
"Reserve a rooftop table if possible; in December the rooftop is cosy but can be chilly — ask for a sheltered spot or a blanket.Order a signature cocktail to share and toast the day; tell the staff it’s a special evening and they may help with a romantic touch.Arrive while it’s still light to watch the city shift into evening — the transition is lovely in winter."
Rooftop cocktails at The Dean (rooftop bar)
"Stick to the main promenade which is wide, flat and non-slip; there are benches every few minutes for rests.Avoid the stepped areas near the theatre; choose level routes along the canal edge for minimal effort.Nearby cafés and restrooms are available in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and nearby offices if you need a quick indoor stop."
Gentle stroll & photos at Grand Canal Square
"Short attention spans: Keep this to an external stroll — the Long Room queue can be long in winter and is best avoided with young children.Warm-up break: There are sheltered courtyards to let little ones warm up and stretch with minimal crowds.Facilities: Cafés nearby (if you need a top-up drink) and public restrooms near the campus edges."
Trinity College & gentle photo stroll (campus exterior)
"Pre-book the 2-hour slot (and the 'Learn to Pour' or tasting add-on if you want a skills session) — it's busy in summer afternoons.Head to the Gravity Bar near the end of the tour for skyline photos; split into pairs for quick pints to avoid long lines.Ask staff for group photo tips and coat-check where available — it makes moving around exhibits with bags easier."
Guinness Storehouse Experience
"Pick 3–4 different stalls and share plates tapas-style; this keeps costs down and lets everyone try more dishes.Look for a large communal table or reserve a spot if the venue allows group bookings; June afternoons fill up quickly.Many vendors accept cards and contactless; split payments by having one person pay and settle on a phone-pay app to keep things simple."
Lunch at Manifesto Foodhall — casual shared plates
"Bring a lightweight picnic blanket (or buy takeout from nearby cafés) for a more relaxed group vibe on the grass.Look for the bandstand and duck pond — perfect spots for casual group photos and short playful moments.There are public restrooms and water fountains nearby; use this time to regroup and refill water bottles for the evening."
St Stephen's Green — short relaxed stroll
"Allergy-friendly: Staff are used to special requests — ask about egg/dairy-free options when ordering.Stroller seating: Request a table near the entrance or window for easier stroller access and less disruption if a child needs a nap.Restroom and break: The café is near public restrooms (and short-walk changing facilities in nearby Trinity/heritage venues) — leave a cushion of time for snack + bathroom breaks."
