The Brazen Head

Established in 1198, it's Dublin's oldest pub. It’s tucked away but well worth the search for its history and nightly music.

Marsh's Library

A hidden gem near St. Patrick's Cathedral, it is the oldest public library in Ireland and remains largely unchanged since the 1700s.

The Hungry Tree

Located in the grounds of King's Inns, this plane tree appears to be slowly 'eating' a nearby cast-iron bench.
