Solo Travel: Activities you can enjoy alone in Dublin

Travelling solo to Dublin? Here are some activities to indulge in during your trip.

Founded in the 9^th century by the Vikings, Dublin in Ireland is a historical city filled with quirky attractions, lip-smacking local food and literary inspirations. Whether you are looking to get social at a coffee shop and restaurants or prefer some quiet time, the city has some of the best options for all solo travels.

So, here is a comprehensive list of solo activities to enjoy in Ireland’s capital.

Spend a day at the National Museums

For rainy day and free activities, National Museums across the capital should be your go-to destination. There are four museums found in Dublin namely the Archaeology Museum, Museum of Decorative Arts and History, Natural History Museum and National Gallery of Dublin. All these museums house some of Ireland’s greatest artistic treasures. But if you prefer something outdoorsy, visit the National Botanical Gardens to get a nature fix.

Visit Libraries

If you love books and everything literary, then you must visit two libraries in Dublin. The Trinity College Dublin library was founded in 1592 and is the largest library in the city. The other is the oldest public library in Dublin called Marsh’s Library. Founded in the early 18^th century, the library can be founded a little away from the tourist track but will be worth the visit.

Walk on the Great South Wall

The Great South Wall is one of the lesser-known must-do activities in Dublin. The 1.5-kilometre sea wall is essential a road to nowhere. The trail between the two stretches of the sea has ferries pulling into the ports, seabirds soaring, and a stark red lighthouse decorated with graffiti. The walk offers a serene and tranquil environment.

Walk along Dublin’s only known pub-free route

A map that is commonly sold in the city marks the greatest evils, which are pubs according to the map. Dublin is filled with so many pubs that James Joyce joked in his book Ulysses that it would be impossible to cross the city without passing one of them at least. But over 80 years later, a software developer solved the problem. Take an alternative stroll through the street to experience something unique.
