The RDS has also become the adopted home of Leinster Rugby, as Donnybrook can no longer satisfy the demand for tickets. I was at the Leinster-Ulster game on St. Stephens Day, and I have to say it was the most atmosphere-free match of anything I've ever attended. I'm not sure if it's the fault of the fans or the stadium itself but, for me, watching sports should involve a bit of shouting. There were no songs to be sung, and the closest we came to straining our voices were the rare drones of "Leinster, Leinster, Leinster". It was all a bit crap really, and massively at odds with the last four games I've attended-which were all at Croker(Dublin/West-Meath, Ireland/Italy, Ireland/Montenegro, Ireland/France).

The passion and pride of the staff shine through in every moment. This is an absolute cute, educational must-do experience in Dublin!

The Gallery is centrally located, right on Merrion Square just to the east of Trinity College…read more Located in the city centre of Dublin, the gallery first opened its doors to the public in January 1864. It hosts around 2,500 paintings and about 10,000 other works in different media including water-colours, drawings, prints, and sculptures. It also houses a prestigious collection of Irish art and is also notable for its Dutch masters and Italian Baroque painting. Inside the gallery there are 15,000 works of art! Amongst the paintings and other art works to look out for, there's the Taking of Christ by Caravaggio, For The Road by Jack Yeats and the Sick Call by Mathew James which depicts the suffering of the Irish population following the famine. Amongst them is 'A woman writing a letter with her maidservant' by Johannes Vermeer Free guided tours at weekends are performed, it is a good way to learn the story behind the paintings. Otherwise, the entry to the permanent collection is free, and children can have a special audio guide to explore the gallery. From paintings to modern art, sculptures to a giant wooden carving, we easily spent a few hours there. The museum has a good cafe offering food and beverages, and you can enter off of Merrion Square or on the street

The hall is packed with stands and happily glugging punters... not uncomfortably so and the vibe is good. Of course it helps enormously if you are granted a tour of the stands by a noted beer blogger who knows EVERYONE and can point you in the direction of the very best booze the festival has to offer, but even if you are not so fortunate, it would still be a great if not very filling and slightly wobbly experience. To compliment the 2,000 beers on display and to taste (half a pint is about €3/one token) there is a small food area out the back serving up curries and pizza and hot dogs and other delights... it is nothing short of Mecca for the beery inclined. I had a blast and shall absolutely return next year... and the next and the next.

This isn't the most glamorous museum in Dublin, but it's worth a visit. If you really like seeing…read moreanimals from around the world, you can easily spend a couple hours here. It's several stories and a good way to pass the time between dining reservations, movie times, or just a rainy afternoon. The exhibits, of which there are over 10,000, are very old. The pelts on a lot of the animals are faded. A good portion of the animals were hunted, killed in a time when hunting wasn't as much of a hot button item (the museum was opened in 1857). I'm supremely creeped out by taxidermy, and there is an added level of creepiness and existentialism in viewing creatures that died up to 200 years ago. Still, it's a museum. The interest lies in seeing creatures native to Ireland, ones you haven't seen before, and ones you may never see again. It's not the happiest of museums to walk around in if you're sensitive to the plight of wild animals; however, you might just learn something, which I believe is the whole point of a museum.

Dublin has its fair share of museums that cater to many eclectic interests, but I have to say that…read morethe National Museum of Natural History really takes the cake for being one of the best. Not only is it free (thank you Irish tax payers!) but the sites inside are sort of incredible. Natural history buffs are going to enjoy all the different exhibits on both floors- some of which showcase species that have gone extinct like the giant Irish deer. You learn about the various creatures that once roamed this land and get a glimpse at how much evolution has changed the world. Mind you that it could feel a bit eerie inside given the amount of animals staring down at you, but it really places you in the heart of "Night at the Museum," which is totally what they were going for. Bring your family and stop by. It's certainly worth the half hour to at least roam the world inside!

You can even choose to get a premium seat if you want to he even more comfortable :D 1* For the food : I mean you can choose to get something to nibble at the Costa Café inside the cinema or at the counter while buying your ticket. Hotdog, nachos, popcorn, a mix of all, sweets, soft drinks... You name it, they have it! 1* For the treats : this time Cinderella is on and they have some super cute slipper key ring if you get a kid meal. I am a kid so I got one :D 1* For the overall experience : So far so amazing! I recommend to come here for a night out at the movies ;) Yeaaay I cannot wait to see Cinderella now!

Stillorgan cinema is rarely full, has a great little costa at the front and is always clean. They have recently done up the bathrooms too which is great, as they were a bit dated alright. The screens are not the biggest in Dublin at all, but when you compare this cinema to others in the area that you can't get tickets to, I would like the option of going to the cinema at a whim on a Friday night with a choice of films, rather than waiting around in other cinemas for the next available showing! Its my favourite cinema by far in Dublin, but that is also because its where I spent half my childhood - lots of good memories, which makes me a bit biased. Even so - I would highly recommend it! :)

There's yoga classes, dance and Tae Kwon-Do too...a 'something for everyone' kind of atmosphere.
