Secret hidden gems Dublin: The best and unknown tourist spots by postcode

If you're thinking of something fun to do this summer without breaking the bank then staycations might just be the thing for you.

Taking day trips to local attractions can save you money on accommodation, food (if you pack your own lunches), and long-distance travel.

Things are slowly opening up as restrictions ease and Dubliners can now visit all the best places our beloved capital has to offer.

To make things easier for you, we have compiled a comprehensive list of all the best attractions in each postcode.

A lot of these spots are already open to the public but the rest are expected to reopen in the summer.

So here is a list of some of the most fun and exciting places you can visit in Dublin and we've included some hidden gems too!
