Sometimes, for a quick minute, I think there isn’t enough to do in this little old town of Dublin. Isn’t that what everyone thinks about where they live? Certainly it was more true in China Village, there were only a few options in our tiny town – movies, miniature golf in the summer, maybe some sledding in the winter? Some days, I can even feel that way this big city.
But it’s just not the case. There is always tons going on here! You just have to know where to look. I have some go-to places to find lots of cool, new, interesting, exciting stuff going on in this city. I figured today was a great day to share those resources with you! And the best part? Great for visitors and locals. You know those are my favorite suggestions to make, huh?! Equal opportunity suggestions, I like to say.
So here we are. Five fab resources for enjoying this lovely town.
Le Cool Dublin
Le Cool Dublin is a website and weekly email newsletter sharing everything that’s going on that week. For the most part, they focus on the cool and quirky concerts, shows, and events going on in Dublin. Sign up for their weekly emails – you’ll be shocked how much goes on each week! They also offer tours of Dublin – I reviewed one here!
Totally Dublin Magazine
Totally Dublin is a free monthly magazine you can pick up in lots of shops and restaurants around Dublin. It is packed full of restaurant reviews, the latest info on neighborhoods and exhibits and movements. Every time I bring one home, Michael and I say to each other, Can you believe they included all these places?! It’s a treasure trove. Technically, Totally Dublin has a website, but you really should pick up a paper copy. It’s so satisfying to flip through!
Dublin Event Guide
The Dublin Event Guide is a website devoted to the free events taking place around the city. Cool, huh? It includes events like markets or trad sessions that happen every week, as well as once-off events. It’s a great resource if you’re looking to save a little money but still get out and about!
Dublin Town
Dublin Town is a website packed full of photos and info about shops, restaurants, pubs, and galleries in Dublin. It’s really visual, which is nice, and it’s fun to browse their categories and find new places to check out. Whenever I’m scrolling through Dublin Town, I’m always shocked to find more shops and boutiques I didn’t know about.
Isle Magazine
Isle Magazine is a little different than the rest of these resources, but since it’s a free online publication filled with all the amazing things Ireland has to offer, I thought it would round out our resources nicely! Isle Magazine is full of articles about the food producers, crafts people, artists and just interesting folks here on this island. It may not give you plans for your weekend, but it’s certainly inspiring and incredibly positive!
And just for good measure, here’s one more fun resource that will at least keep you busy into the wee hours of the night, reading away! Check out the Latest Irish Blog Posts Pinterest Page for the newest posts from Irish bloggers. It’s great fun to discover new blogs from across Ireland.
So, friends, where do you find inspiration in your town? Any fun resources you want to share? Wherever you are, happy almost Friday!
