by

Dublin in Autumn, there’s nowhere quite like it. The leaves turn golden, the pints get creamier, and there’s countless cozy activities to enjoy. The Dean is your perfect base for discovering Dublin this Autumn. Wrap up warm and dive right on for our picks for Autumn activities in Dublin.

 

1. Golden Hour at St Stephen’s Green

As the famous line goes, ‘Dublin can be heaven with coffee at eleven, and a stroll in Stephen’s Green’. No trip to Dublin is complete without a visit to the city’s most famous park, and there’s no better time than Autumn. Just a two minute walk from The Dean Dublin, grab a coffee to go and head to St. Stephen’s Green to capture that iconic Autumn snap. Crunchy leaves and golden hues set the perfect backdrop for a gorgeous Autumn walk through Dublin City Centre.

 

2. Bram Stoker Fest

Promising four days and nights of deadly adventures from the 25-28 October, Dublin is set to get gloriously gothic this October as Bram Stoker Festival celebrates the legacy, life and works of Bram Stoker, Dublin resident and author of Dracula. Visit the festival hub at Dublin City Castle, or nab a ticket to the many free events on offer, from theatre and talks to graveyard walking tours.

3. Get your Cultural Fix

Autumn is the perfect time to explore some of Dublin’s many galleries and soak up world class art. Take a trip to Kilmainham to visit the Irish Museum of Modern Art or stroll through the Royal Hibernian Academy before a seasonal lunch at the onsite restaurant Margadh. The Dean Dublin is a stone’s throw from the recently opened Museum of Literature (MoLi), a celebration for the world’s greatest storytellers and Ireland’s rich literary heritage.

 

4.Dublin Pubs

If there was ever a time to discover the best of Dublin’s pubs, it’s now. Warm up with a pint of plain at iconic pubs Grogan’s (don’t miss their famous toastie), take a break from shopping and people watch from outside Kehoe’s, or catch a trad session at O’Donoghue’s. If cocktails are more your vibe, Dublin is home to some of Europe’s best cocktail bars, not to be missed. Start from your base at The Dean with a cocktail and side of city views at Sophie’s, cozy into a nook at Peruke & Periwig on Dawson St, or venture to the cobble stoned streets of Temple Bar to find the door of the iconic Vintage Cocktail Club.

 

5.Christmas at the Castle

Wrap up warm and take a wander through Christmas at the Castle, a free open air market that runs 6th December to 19th December in the courtyard of the iconic Dublin Castle. Now in its 6th year, the market has a host of artisans from all over Ireland, a selection of food vendors and live entertainment. Support local and find some unique gifts while soaking up the festive atmosphere. If you have time, pop in next door to the Chester Beatty Library, a truly unique museum in the heart of Dublin City.
