Day Two
Begin with a little penance at either (or both) of Dublin's medieval cathedrals,
St
Patrick's
and
Christ Church
, before pursuing pleasure at Dublin's most popular
tourist attraction, the
Guinness Storehouse
; make sure to sample the almost per-
fect Guinness you get at the end of the visit.
Lunch
Fumbally Cafe (

) has great soups, sandwiches and coffee.
Go further west to Kilmainham, visiting first the fine collection at the
Irish Mu-
seum of Modern Art
(don't forget to visit the gardens too) before going out the
back entrance and stepping into
Kilmainham Gaol
, the tour of which offers one
of the most illuminating and interesting insights into Ireland's struggle for independence
you'll get on your travels. If the weather is good, a stroll in the
War Memorial Gardens
is
also recommended.
Dinner
Organic grub at L Mulligan Grocer (

), in Stoneybatter.
Walshe's
of Stoneybatter is a superb traditional bar, full of interesting locals and
hipster blow-ins looking for a 'real' Dublin experience. Alternatively, you could
take in a play at either the
Gate
or Ireland's national theatre, the
Abbey
. Use the
Luas to get you from Stoneybatter (get on at the Museum stop) and alight at Abbey St.
