orrhage cash without too much effort. But the good news is you can see and ex-
perience much of what's great about Dublin without having to spend a cent.
Museums
The nation's cultural and historic patrimony is yours to enjoy at no cost.
National Museum of Ireland All three Dublin branches of the National Museum - Ar-
chaeology ( Click here ) , Decorative Arts & History ( Click here ) and Natural History ( Click
here ) - are free of charge, and you're welcome to wander in and explore its myriad treas-
ures and fascinating exhibits at your leisure.
National Gallery ( Click here ) The state's proud collection of art, from the Middle Ages up
to the modern age, is well represented on the walls of the National Gallery.
Chester Beatty Library ( Click here ) The city's foremost small museum is a treasure trove
of ancient books, illuminated manuscripts, precious scrolls and other gorgeous objets d'art.
Green Spaces
Dublin is blessed with green spaces, all but one of which is open to the public.
St Stephen's Green ( Click here ) The city's most popular park is always packed with folks
looking to take advantage of the good weather.
Merrion Square ( Click here ) The most elegant of Dublin's free parks has beautiful lawns,
delicate flower beds and a statue of Oscar Wilde (among others).
Iveagh Gardens ( Click here ) A little wilder and not as well known as the city's other parks
is this bit of countryside smack in the middle of the city.
Phoenix Park ( Click here ) The largest non-wildlife enclosed park in Europe is huge - big
enough to house the President, the American ambassador, the zoo, a herd of fallow deer
and more green space than you could ever need.
Personalised Tours
Exploring the city under your own steam is free, but you can also get some guided help at
no cost.
