We were over in London for the World Travel Market at the beginning of November and I took the opportunity to head over to the Tower of London and do the Beefeater tour.  Unfortunately I chose a day when the weather wasn’t very good. It kept showering on and off so we were told that…

Anna’s Sunny Day in Dublin  On a Sunny Day I am getting out of the house as early as possible! These days are far and few between so i’m making the most of it. My favourite place for coffee in town is ‘Il Fornaio on College Green’ they do hands down the best caramel latte…

The other day I found myself in one of my favourite places in all of Dublin, Howth. Work brought me there; We had a management meeting so since I was out there anyway, and my wife was off work that day, we decided to turn it into an outing once work was finished. The meeting…

Anna here! This week I was absolutely buzzing to get the opportunity to see ANU Productions perform ‘Of the Mouth of Flowers’ at Dublin City Hall. I am a huge theater fan and actually studied Drama Performance at the TU Dublin Conservatoire so this was right up my alley! The production was developed as part…

With tourist season fully upon us I haven’t really had time to go and visit any attractions around the city. A few days ago, however, I did find myself with some free time so I decided to visit the Irish Rock ‘n’ Museum Experience in Temple Bar. The exhibit is housed in a well-known venue…

A new and incredibly exciting exhibition just landed in Dublin. It is something I’ve never seen before and also something I urge everyone to experience. It is of course the Van Gogh Immersive Journey Exhibition in the RDS. I had heard about this exhibition as it had travelled around the world and had seen Tik…

Hello, Anna here with my first blog! Myself and my wonderful colleague Selma headed up to The Little Museum of Dublin on a rainy Saturday morning.  We had no idea what to expect and were cautiously optimistic as we entered the 1776 Georgian house just off St Stephen’s Green. We were immediately won over by…

Ok, I must admit I’m a bit embarrassed it took me so long to do this one. I’m from Dublin and have lived here over half my life but this was my first time visiting Kilmainham Gaol. I was very excited about this one, everyone who does it says how brilliant is and I agree,…

What better way to see the city than on the top of an open top double decker bus? Great idea, right? So, with that in mind I set off to explore the city with Do Dublin and once again I was joined by my colleague Anna. We met up and headed for the pick-up point…

Continuing with my quest to expand local knowledge and learn a little more about the history of our lovely city, I decided to visit the National Museum of Decorative Arts & History. This time I was joined by my colleague Anna. We went on a sunny Thursday afternoon in March but wish we had left…

Mother’s Day weekend is always a fantastic, busy, and joyful weekend here at Vintage Tea Trips. There is love, celebration and remembrance on board. However, we would be remiss to say that we aren’t affected by what is going on in Ukraine. The pictures of children crossing the border some with their mothers’ others without….

Of course you know that Ireland is a wonderful country full of diverse attractions, open greenways and waterways and areas of incredible historical and cultural importance, but did you know that Dublin has all of these and more?  There’s a…
