A large obelisk at the entrance to Phoenix Park. It was completed in 1861.

Phoenix Park is enclosed by a wall and feels less like a traditional park and more like a large, open space. It offers a variety of attractions and points of interest, including the Phoenix Monument, the Wellington Monument, the Pabst Cross, Ashtown Castle with its Victorian kitchen garden, a prehistoric burial mound (over 5,500 years old), and playgrounds. You can explore the park on foot or even rent e-bikes specifically for this purpose. Anyone with more time to spare during their visit to Dublin should definitely make time for this park.

For nature lovers in Ireland who want to explore it on the road, I recommend spending a few hours in Phoenix Park rather than visiting a cathedral or museum. Very close to the city center, yet so sprawling that it almost feels distant, it can be truly breathtaking in the early morning or late afternoon. Following the various trails, wandering through its woods and clearings, can provide thrilling encounters with small herds of deer. Highly recommended!

A beautiful sandy beach right in Dublin. It's busy, at least in the evenings, but not overcrowded.

The park is Dublin's green lung, attracting both residents and tourists. At 7 km², it is one of the largest city parks in Europe and twice the size of Central Park. This beautiful park, with its woods and meadows, originated from an area established as a hunting reserve in the 17th century. It wasn't until 1747 that the area became a public park. Today, in addition to pure nature, the park also features several popular attractions such as Dublin Zoo and the Wellington Monument.

Howth is a lively village just a stone's throw from Ireland's capital. Thanks to its busy fishing port, coastal trails, heaths and golf courses, it's become a much sought-after location and is popular with visitors. Running routes on the Howth Head peninsula are excellent.

Nose of Howth is the northeastern tip of Howth Head. The views along this section of trail are magnificent, with the island of Ireland's Eye visible in the glistening sea. You can get a little higher for even more expansive views by running up to Howth Head Peak, just to the southwest.

Large park close to the centre. The layout is partly a bit boring for walking, but if you stay away from the roads it can be nice. From the higher points the views are great.
