An easy spot to visit for a bit of history is the General Post Office in the centre of Dublin, it still has bullet holes from the 1916 rising – and a museum dedicated to said rising in the basement! National Museum and National Gallery are also strong recs.

Lots of great suggestions already so I'll just add Newgrange, a neolithic site older than the pyramids of Giza – you even get to go inside into the tiny chamber that lights up with sunlight through a long passage just once a year on the winter solstace!

Allow me to be the first, of no doubt many, to make the mandatory reply that Ireland's population sadly still hasn't recovered from the genocide perpetrated by the English in the 1800s. On the upside that means there's lots of pretty Breath of the Wild style ruins everywhere! 🇮🇪

I'm sorry to hear that, do you mind me asking what was bad about the Nebula experience?

I’ll shut up now but god help whoever gets stuck in the pub listening to my “What is the difference between Batman and the CIA?” rant

#TheDarkKnightRises is an Occupy Wall Street horror movie where any attempt at wealth distribution can only equal chaos and violence. The 99% are a misguided, bloodthirsty mob, led by con men who want everyone to die for unspecified reasons. Thank goodness Batman is there to #MakeGothamGreatAgain

Don’t get me wrong, #TheDarkKnight is a fantastic film BUT it also frames mass surveillance, kidnapping of foreign nationals, and keeping the truth from the public as necessary evils – as long as they’re done by the right, enlightened elite.
