Have A WILDE-ly Beautiful Lunch
Located just off Grafton Street, nestled inside the Westbury hotel you’ll find an indoor terrace
bursting with greenery and floral displays which give you the sense of alfresco dining without the
risk (it’s also a great spot for a quick Instagram snap too). Think fresh Irish produce with a
global twist; we love the Kilkeel scallop gratin with smoked bacon & gruyère cheese.

Visit Dublin's 'Secret Garden'
We're all familiar with St Stephen's Green Park but have you ever ventured 300m further to visit the
quieter Iveagh Gardens, popularly known as Dublin’s ‘Secret Garden'? Particularly stunning in
summer, with a history dating back over three hundred years, explore the yew maze, rosarium, and
fountains while taking in a breath of fresh air.
Where? Clonmel Street, Dublin 2
Find a New Fragrance
Now that all of those flowers have got your olfactory senses tingling, there's only one way we can
think of to truly satisfy them - follow your nose back to the fragrance room in Brown Thomas. Take
your time to seek out a new signature scent from perfume greats like Frederic Malle, try a best seller from the Escentric
Molecules’ collection or something completely unique like Parfums De Marly. This is your time to wonder in the
spectacular bottles and spritz your wrist or neck to give you a sense of how it may wear on you -
you might just leave with something totally unexpected.
Where? Ground Floor, Brown Thomas Grafton Street
Stroll Through Trinity
Located on College Green, Trinity College Dublin should be the next stop on your list. The setting
of acclaimed novel and series, "Normal People", you can snap a quick photo under the ornate arches
of The Campanile, or head to the Museum Building to catch sight of the Book Of Kells and the
beautiful Old Library. Gaze upon the precious 1,200 year old illustrated manuscript, then continue
the historical and artistic learnings by continuing onto The Long Room library, where you will find
200,000 of Trinity's most ancient books and 40 marble busts of iconic figures such as Shakespeare
and Lady Augusta Gregory. Move into the modern world then, and visit the Douglas Hyde Gallery next
to the Arts Block for a contemporary art fix.

A Glass Of Bubbles
Finish your day off with a lovely glass of something sparkling before you head home. Discover the
menu at Brown's Brasserie or book in for a
spot of dinner if you fancy staying a little
longer. For cocktails and light bites we also love Peruke & Periwig set in a grand old city house,
decadently furnished with velvet and mahogany, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. Then
just like that, it's time to head home - 12 hours well spent we say.
Where: Brown Brasserie: Level 3, Brown Thomas Grafton Street & Peruke and Periwig: 31 Dawson Street
