Here are 12 more Instagrammable places in Dublin, because life is too short to take bad photos! Looking for the original list? If you’re interested in this one, make sure you take a look at my original 13 most Instagrammable places in Dublin as well.

Why have I made not one, but two of these lists? It’s not about the social clout, it’s about your experience. Have you ever been to a city and thought it wasn’t that nice? Or felt a bit boring? (Ugh). Usually, it’s because you didn’t know where to go. Back when I started travelling that happened to me a couple times — Milan and Cardiff were two casualties. You head off without a plan, thinking you’re safe to wander the high street and revel in the culture! Wrong.

Here is my complete guide of things to do in Dublin, there should be something in there for all of you. And that might be enough for your next visit. But if you find yourself looking for something a bit more local, or perhaps you’ve been to the city a few times already and need something more, check out some (or all) of these spots. I’ve pulled together 12 more instagram-worthy spots in Dublin for you to enjoy.

1. Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre

This everyday shopping mall makes for the best backdrop.

8. The Dublin Hellfire Club

9. Cill Airne Boat Bar

Cill Airne is a personal favourite of mine. Packed on a sunny day and cozy during the winter, this bar on a boat offers something a little different. Go for sunset and enjoy the view of Dublin’s famous Samuel Beckett Bridge.

10. Irish Museum of Modern Art

The museum is great, but the grounds are spectacular. Head over to the Irish Museum of Modern Art to wander through the immaculate gardens that surround it.

11. Iveagh Gardens

This one is hidden in plain sight. Iveagh Gardens sits just off Harcourt Street (where you go for the nightlife). Within the quiet gardens, where you’ll feel far, far away from busy Dublin, you can find a gorgeous little waterfall.
