The Brazen Head
Who hasn’t heard of The Brazen Head? The bar dates back to 1198, needless to say that its Irelands oldest pub. So when we visited Dublin for New Years we just had to visit the iconic landmark of a pub. Out of all the pubs we visited, this was the most hyped and even though it was kind of cool to have visited, it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be. It was cute. I liked the rustic feeling of the outdoors area. The bar served Guinness. Didnt try the food though, so I cant really say much for that. Seems like I didnt like it?Well, its not that…

Clubhopping or barcrawls?
There were probobly a lot of clubs around Dublin, but we didnt really go looking. Bars are more our cup of tea, or pint of Guinness if you please. Clubbing can be alright, for a shorter while, otherwise we do prefer bars. I would say we’re not much of dancers so much as talkers. If there’s good music, preferebly live, that’s a plus. In my oppinion I would rather have a draft in a cozy pub than a club of loud music with a big croud. What do you prefer, clubhopping or barcrawls? #travelblog #ireland #dublin#drink #travelphotography

The buildings around Trinity University
Just walking around Trinity University is an experiece in itself, the buildings that surround the area is fantastic. I mean of course it is, it was founded back in 1592 by Queen Elisabeth and it is Ireland’s oldest surviving university. I am well aware that the most iconic tourist place is not on my list of buildings that surround Trinity University. I think I’ll save that disappointment to a different post, stay tuned…

Dublin by night
I’ve told you about Angelicas fiances love for bridges right?Dont really know when it started but he’s got this thing about walking over bridges, so where ever we go, he’s always talking absout the bridges. I think I’ve I’ve told you about this before. Anyways, Dublin have a lot of bridges, in a variety of sizes and shapes. Ha´Penny bridge is the most iconic pedestrian bridge, O’Connell Bridge is dating back to 1794, Millennium Bridge is the one you cross when getting to and from Tempel Bar area and yes the list goes on… but to sum it up, I liked them all the best at night, when they were…

One of the places in Tempel Bar area
There were a lot of bars in the Tempel bar area and I mean, really, a lot. Some cozy, some cool but they were all great in their own way. And what I liked the most was that several of them had live music playing with some really amazing local musicians playing. The best thing about this bar though, was the cheese platter. Angelica really doesnt like cheese, but fortunately Hanna does and she’s never one to say no to a shared plate of goodies. //Ann

Portraits at the Guinness Storehouse
Us, infront of the indoors waterfall at the Guinness Storehouse. Just walking around at the Storehouse gave a lot of portrait opportunities, there were so many beautiful and cool locations that just gave a pretty backdrop. It was really hard though, trying to fit in between all the tourists just to get that one image. Meaning, we did not do what I always tell you guys, to go there in the morning or right before closingtime, we were there midnoon ofcourse. //Ann

Images from The Guinness Storehouse
We took a lot of images a the Guiness Storehouse. I mean, really a lot, lots and many. I cant even show you half of it, I would overload the blog with Guinness. That a thought. Anyways, I’m just gonna show you a bunch of the images and I’m gonna tell you more in the following posts. Okey?

Skillnad på folk och folk
Det man fick höra om Dublin innan vi åkte så var de allt annat än handikappsanpassat.. Jag bröt ju benet innan vi skulle åka och vi fick göra de bästa av situationen helt enkelt, kryckor och rullstol var ett måste eftersom jag inte kunde gå.. Servicen från Arlanda var kanon så resan kunde inte börja bättre! Så fort vi anlände till Dublin märkte vi hur generösa de var och det här var bara på flygplatsen! Det blev lite som en chock för hela sällskapet hur gästvänliga folket var, jag fick förtur till allt och så fort något krånglade så släppte befolkningen allt för att hjälpa till. Under resan så satt…

Supercool bar
Isn’t this just a supercool bar? Flashing colours everywhere with crazycool lighting and beautiful interior design that made it impossible not to stay around for a few images. And a few drinks.
