Day Four
You'll get a particularly interesting insight into the vagaries of Irish history with a
visit to
Glasnevin Cemetery
, the final resting place of so many Irish notables -
but be sure to take the brilliant tour. The
National Botanic Gardens
are just
around the corner, and well worth an amble. Sporting fans will enjoy the tour of
Croke
Park
, Ireland's biggest stadium and HQ of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
Lunch
Wuff (

) in Stoneybatter has a great range of lunch options.
Hop on a DART and head northwards to the suburb of Howth, a nice fishing vil-
lage at the foot of a bulbous headland overlooking Dublin Bay. There are great
walks around the headland itself, but if you prefer something a little more sedate,
there's a fine selection of
pubs
in the village and some excellent seafood
restaurants
along
the pier. There's also a terrific
farmers market
at weekends.
Dinner
The Winding Stair (

) serves beautiful Irish cuisine.
By now you've probably discovered a favourite pub. A return visit is always re-
commended, but if you have the time, a visit to
O'Donoghue's
on Merrion Row is
guaranteed to be memorable: a beautiful traditional bar that is always full of revel-
lers and there's a good chance there'll be a trad music session on.
