Visit Dublin's Secret Garden
We're all familiar with St Stephen's Green Park but have you ever ventured just 300m further to visit the quieter Iveagh Gardens, popularly known as Dublin’s ‘Secret Garden'?

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.

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.

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.

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. Indulge in an after-dinner cocktail, and then just like that, it's time to head home! 12 hours well spent, we say.
