Dublin Spire, Dublin

3.0

#138 of 821 in Things to do in Dublin

The very first attraction you spot when you visit Dublin will likely be Dublin Spire, a huge, stainless-steel monument reaching 121.2 m (398 ft) in height. Ian Ritchie Architects' simple and elegant monument looks like someone stuck a giant pin in the city. Although the monument seems to disappear in the sky at dusk, lights at the bottom and top of the pin are illuminated at night. The spire does not have an observation deck, but visitors can snap great pictures from O'Connell Street. A visit to Dublin Spire represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Dublin trip planner to plot your vacation.

The Spire is the ideal meeting place in the city. He is not particularly beautiful. But it is striking in any case!

If this place to score in time an English victory by a former monument, today, this new "Silver tip", positions the tourists in the city who cannot appreciate value, the political momentum from yesterday to meet diplomatic ideas that bring together men for peace of minds!

Pretty good hostel - clean, nice enployees, decent breakfast. Drawback: you could hear people in the hallway quite load from the room I slept in. Also on the last night, the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night without a reason, which was very annoying. Nevertheless, I would recommend this hostel if you stay a couple of nights.
