Day Three
After walking the length of
O'Connell St
, pausing to admire the bullet holes in
the
General Post Office
, explore the collection of the
Dublin City Museum -
The Hugh Lane
including Francis Bacon's reconstructed studio. The
Old
Jameson Distillery
, to the west in Smithfield, is the place to learn about (and taste) Irish
whiskey.
Lunch
Get great sandwiches, wraps and baps at Third Space (

).
The collection of the
National Museum of Ireland - Decorative Arts & History
is excellent, but you'll be distracted by the stunning 18th-century barracks that is
its home. The nearby cemetery at
Arbour Hill
is where the executed leaders of the
Easter Rising are buried, while further west again is the broad expanse of the
Phoenix
Park
, the largest city park in Europe.
Dinner
Chapter One (

The biggest choice of nightlife is in the streets around Grafton St. There are tradi-
tional
pubs
, trendy new
bars
and
music venues
. You can drink, talk and dance the
night away, or go see a show at the
Gaiety Theatre
. Whatever you choose,
everything is easily reached in what is a pretty compact district.
