Glasnevin Cemetery is a must-visit for anyone interested in Irish history and culture. Established in 1832 by Daniel O’Connell, this cemetery is the final resting place for over 1.6 million people, including many of Ireland's most influential figures such as Michael Collins, Éamon de Valera, Charles Stewart Parnell, and Constance Markievicz. The cemetery's rich history is reflected in its beautiful monuments and the stories of the people buried there.

Visitors can explore the on-site museum, which opened in 2010, offering exhibitions and guided tours that bring the history of these iconic figures to life. One of the highlights is the O’Connell Tower, the tallest round tower in Ireland, which provides stunning panoramic views of Dublin from its summit. The tower was recently reopened in 2018 after being closed for nearly 50 years due to a bombing in 1971.

Glasnevin Cemetery also offers genealogical services, allowing visitors to trace their ancestry and discover connections to Ireland's past. The cemetery is not just a historical site but also a tranquil green space in the city, making it a pleasant place to walk around and reflect.
