The National Gallery of Ireland, DublinFree Admission Tourist Attraction in Ireland #1The Dublin home to Ireland's art treasures tops the list of 'free to visit' attractions in the entire country and it is easy to see why. The Gallery is located on Merrion Square, literally next door to the national parliament of the country (Dail Eireann) and only a few hundred yards from St. Stephen's Green, Grafton Street, Trinity College and a host of other top visitor sites. It could hardly be more central.  The Gallery has two main entrances. The first faces Merrion Square with the second one located on Clare Street, just around the corner. The Dublin Luas (tram) line stops at nearby St. Stephens Green while the nearest DART (train) stop is located at nearby Pearse Station. The Gallery is very well served by Dublin bus routes as well. If you are visiting Dublin city centre then you should allow at least two to three hours for your visit so allocating a full morning or an afternoon is a good idea and will afford you time to stop off for lunch or a snack in the Gallery restaurant. The Gallery offers free guided tours and audio-tours and is very well regarded for its collection of Italian Baroque and Dutch masters paintings. Visitors are advised to check the Gallery's website at http://www.nationalgallery.ie for information about free tour times.  The Gallery cafe is of a very high standard but be warned, it can be quite busy at lunchtime as Dubliner's working nearby take advantage of the facility. If you like art, strolling around museums and admiring fine architecture then the National Gallery should definitely be on your list of places to visit during your Dublin stay, and its free! |
