It's pretty safe to say I've done just about every single touristy thing to do in Dublin, with exception to St. Patrick's Day just around the corner. No matter how long I live here, I still like crossing my tourist to-do list off.
If you're in Dublin or planning a visit, here is a site that may be useful to you. On Trip Advisor this destination is rated the highest. I know what you're thinking, "Really a cemetery is more popular than The Guinness Storehouse?" REALLY. It's an impressive grounds to visit. If you are not as familiar with Irish history, I'd strongly recommend visiting Kilamainham Gaol first and/or watching some Irish history documentaries beforehand. It's more enjoyable if you have a bit of background on the people you're seeing headstones for.

We managed to get all the way across the grounds, which is impressive when you think over 1 million people are beneath your feet. Literally more people are buried there now than actually live in the city today. We had a bit of rain toward the rain, but no bother.... that only led to a beautiful rainbow to round off the visit.

No trip complete with a stop at the bakery. Tea and "rockyroad" treats never tasted so good.
Cheers,
