The Aviva Stadium, home of the Six Nations Rugby and many other sporting occasions. But if you are into music and fancy seeing Billy Joel, he performs at the Aviva on 23rd June 2018.

St. Stephen's Green is Ireland's most famous Victorian park, reopened to all citizens of Dublin by Lord Ardilaun in 1880. This 9-hectare park has maintained its traditional Victorian layout, with lush trees and shrubs, and spectacular Victorian spring and summer flower beds. Herbaceous plants on the edge of the flower beds add a touch of color to the garden from early spring to late autumn.

Powerscourt Manor is famous for its open and pleasant scenery, well-designed sculptures, terraces and pools. Around the pool, exquisite ironware can be seen everywhere, Italian sculptures and Italian-style ramps are scattered in an orderly manner, and the simple and elegant fan-shaped building in the center of the manor is even more distinctive.

A very good archaeological museum. My personal favorite part is the archaeological excavations in the Middle Ages. There are not only many religious and historical relics and treasures from the Middle Ages, but also some discoveries about life.
