I did a weekend trip to Dublin and I really enjoyed spending time in the city.
Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to visit Dublin Zoo but I really enjoyed shopping on Grafton Street. I visited the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre and bought some souvenirs for my friends.
On Saturday I did a self-guided walking tour around Saint Patrick's Cathedral. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Afterwards I walked around Temple Bar District. The Live Music Sessions were my favourite thing in Dublin! I ate fish and chips at the "Fish Shop", but it was not as good as I expected.
During nighttime I walked down to the river and crossed the Ha'penny bridge. The lights were lovely! It is really nice that it is for pedestrians only and it's a great spot for taking pictures.
On Sunday I visited Dublin Castle. It is a must-see in Dublin. However, the name "Dublin Castle" is a little mis-leading since the "castle" is only a very small part of the building.
All in all I really enjoyed my weekend trip to Dublin and I'll definitely come back!
