What to Do in Dublin in Winter 2019

Dublin is already known for its wet weather so much of its main attractions are, thankfully, indoors. As cold or wet as it might be, the architecture of Dublin is always a sight to see. In fact, bundling up and exploring the city in winter can often be a more beautiful way to see it. The temperature averages are in the mid-40s and it can snow in January and February. One of the main attractions in Dublin is the Guiness Storehouse, covering seven floors exhibiting the process of making the famed beer, the final floor will have a pint waiting for you with incredible views of the city. Dublin is famous for its literature scene, and you can visit the James Joyce museum or the stunning Trinity Library. As for events, the Dublin International Film Festival is held in February and March, and you should definitely experience the St. Patricks Festival in March. It is recommended to rent a compact car for Dublin as roads can be narrow. If you plan to explore the countryside, then choose an SUV.

Roads in Ireland are classified into four different categories: motorway, national roads, regional roads, and local roads. The M1-M9 motorways are based centrally around transportation in Dublin with connections to Belfast, Galway, and Cork. It's important to note that in Ireland, roads distances are measured using the metric system of kilometers and driving takes place on the left hand side of the road. Remember the two most important rules of driving in Ireland: stay on the left hand side and go slow. Most of Ireland's motorways will have you going an average of 40 mph.

The library holds a collection of ancient texts and artifacts from around the world, as well as conducting various workshops for children and adults alike. The Chester Beatty longroom offers a postcard perfect vantage point to snap photo to show your family back home. Entrance to the library is free and different language audio tours can be arranged to help guide you throughout your visit as well.

Guinness Storehouse

For those looking to do as the Dubliners do, take a trip to the famous Guinness Storehouse for a pint of the dark dry stout. The Irish like their Guinness like the English like their lager, and it shows in the many quaint pubs littered around the city. But there's nowhere like going for a drink at the source itself in the Liberties neighborhood of Dublin! For the most well rounded understanding about how the national drink is made, the Guinness Storehouse holds not only tastings but can give you more in depth knowledge about the brewing process.

Wicklow National Park

For more naturally breathtaking views of the Emerald Isles, rent a car for a weekend trip outside of Dublin to the nearby Wicklow National Park. The park has served as a backdrop to many famous films over the years including P.S I Love You and Braveheart. The quintessential Ireland you've imagined from the postcards, Wicklow's romantic rolling hills and meandering sheep will take you back to a simpler time in Ireland's long history.
