Great review of our beautiful medieval city thank you.
So glad you enjoyed :)
Nice to hear an outsider perspective. Easy to forget the nice bits sometimes
I really enjoyed it. Will be back soon in the future 🙌
I'm so proud to be born in Ireland 1962. I'm even more proud to be born in Dublin.
You are very lucky to be able to live there!
Awesome lively presentation! Informative, entertaining, and totally enjoyable!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Irish have never been known to be grumpy. You’re confusing Irish culture with British culture. Cead mile failte is Irish for "a hundred thousand welcomes.”
Misinformation the language for the first time is growing in the country because of technology. The West Coast, and in the north there areas called Gaeltachts where Gaeilge/Irish is spoken as the primary language, it’s not a dead language.
Thanks for the insight! That is interesting with the language, especially its use on the west coast.
And haha at least in the US Irish and British culture are so connected so people often think they're synonymous
@@landonkissell my parents are Irish and I grew up in a very Irish neighborhood. There is no connection to the British. That’s an American interpretation certainly not an Irish one. Anyone part of the Irish diaspora would tell you otherwise
@@jgg59 growing up in Irish culture must have been very enjoyable. And good to know. I’ll make sure to separate the differences moving forward
Great review - Thanks Landon
So glad you enjoyed, and thanks!
Brilliant review of my city. Well done
You are very lucky to live in Dublin. And thanks!
10 of us are traveling to dublin and ireland soon😊
wow enjoy your trip. you will have a great time. I have so many videos coming out about Dublin, Galway, Howth, and much more coming out in the next few days so make sure to stay tuned
nice video, enjoyed it!
thanks for checking it out!
Brilliant review of my city
thanks!
Come back in the summer. When the weather is good in Ireland it is paradise.
Will do. I bet it has a whole different level of beauty
Really well done! You've seen more than some of us who live here!
Thank you! I definitely saw A LOT and was constantly walking around making sure I saw all the sights. I am very excited to return
Croke park stadium on dublins northside seats 80.000 and has a museum in it😊 and has a walk way on the roof😊
it seems like such a terrific stadium. I heard that the museum is something I need to hit next time, especially for someone like me who is a huge sports fan
@@landonkissell very good you will love it man and the walk way all around the roof top is a must and is now a tourist attraction😁
That building with the projection mapping on it near the spire is the GPO, it's a post office and played a big role in the Easter Rising
Thank you for sharing this! I did not know that. That is incredibly interesting to learn about with its connection to the Easter Rising.
@@landonkissell symbolically it would probably be one of the most important buildings to Irish people.. it served as the headquarters of the leaders of the Rising.. You can still see bullet holes on some of the pillers
. Enjoyed your video
@@blu3i Wow that is awesome! I wish I knew that when I was there. I love historical facts like that. I definitely would have talked about that in the video. And thanks!
Dublin is also the EU HQ of Google, meta and Amazon.
@@csweeney115 Wow I did not know that either. I knew finance was huge but that is great that there is such a large tech presence as well
In the west of ireland and the south they use and speak the irish lanquage a lot more as in gaelic😊
That is awesome! I will definitely need to check that out in the future.
I wish I had time to make it there but ran out of time
The Irish Film Institute in temple bar is worth a vist..cosy 3 screen cinema and also an outdoor screen in temple bar square..
wow, that is awesome. thanks for the suggestion!
Here from Reddit. Good video
Thanks!
Try visit collins barracks museum its on the luas tram line its free in too and full of history😊
that museum looks wonderful. I find it amazing how there are multiple free museums in Dublin which allow people to get to learn about Irish history (especially tourists) without having the financial burden. the city does a great job with that
@@landonkissell 😁well enjoy good man
"The homes don't have garages"
They were built before cars were invented 😅😂
im willing to bet the majority of those weren’t built before 1908
@kissell Actually most in around the city centre (between the two surrounding canals) were built in the 1800s. The very centre depends as there was a few wars etc.
@@LeMerch wow, it is remarkable that those homes are still standing and are in such good condition today
ha yea, they are Georgian homes, built between 1714 and 1830. Some are more modern but those within the city are Georgian.
@@chriswhamilton that’s crazy that most of them are that old
well done son excellent
Thanks!
Try visit dublin and irelands biggest mall in the suburb of dundrum the luas tram can bring you their and its a nice sceinic trip😊 or take the dart train from dunleoirey on the south side to howth on the northside of dublin😊
Thank you for these suggestions! (and all your insight you have given with your other comments too!)
I visited Howth and wow what an amazing town it is. it is so elegant and the way it is on the water is stunning (video coming out soon)
@@landonkissell 😃their are also the south dublin bus tour its about 4 hours long and it brings you all over part of the south side of dublin and tour guide brings you to the stars homes like bono from u.2 and enja and so on and their is also the north dublin bus tour which is similar and the dublin bus ghost bus tour tickets for these tours can be bought at the dublin bus head quarters on oconell street😃
@@gerarddeegan1164one of my close friends is going to Dublin in a few weeks and this is something she would be very interested in. I am going to send along this information!😊
I think the factory you mentioned is the waste incinerator at Poolbeg..
the one I was referring to a Guinness, or the one I was referring to closer to Dublin Bay?
@@landonkissell Dublin bay..near Sandymount..
@@marky1974 got it. that is interesting thank you for letting me know!
Man u love Dublin from a irishman 😊
Such a wonderful city!
Nice review. I would check out the Croke Park Museum if you come again and learn about the GAA and Gaelic games. They are our national sport and more popular than rugby. You mention about the lack of car garages, you don't really need one. Most trips in the city are made by walking, cycling and public transport (about 72% in 2019).
I will definitely add Croke Park Museum to my list for when I return. I love sports so being able to learn more about GAA and Gaelic games would be terrific. And makes sense with the cars. It is such a walkable city and public transport seemed super efficient. I loved how the buses were also on time and you could easily track them. 72% is such a high number which is great to see. I wish it was that easy in the US.
And thank you for checking out the video!
@@landonkissell Rugby is popular but its still the fourth most popular sport behind ,gaelic football hurling and soccer.Roughly 200 000 play gaelic and similar numbers soccer football whereas only 25000 play rugby.Its a big spectator sport as regards participation its way down
@@gallowglass2630oh wow I never would have expected that. Especially the fact that it’s over football is really surprising.
What is the popularity of cricket? I’m seeing the irish national team in the T20 cricket World Cup this summer
@@landonkissell Cricket is not very popular at all the team is good and its growing but its not a major sport.I noticed you said british and irish are known as grumpy well whether we are not its not a good idea to lump us together we fought long and hard to separate ourselves from the british people will give you the stare if you that and you won't make any friends here.
@@gallowglass2630 I had a feeling cricket would not be a popular sport. Still looking forward to cheering on your national team this summer though. And relating to the Irish + British comparison with being grumpy, I was going with what the typical American mindset it. People tend to make Irish and British culture synonymous and lump them together even though there are stark differences. I found everyone incredibly friendly and loved the Irish hospitality.
You are right! You fought the British for a while and deserve to be completely separated from them when discussing cultures!
It's a shame you missed the Guinness museum. It's well worth it even if you don't drink. It's a history of Dublin.
I'll make sure I get there on my return then. I bet the inside is awesome. The outside at least was very cool.
Bro, make sure you visit Galway, Limerick and Cork cities while you're here. You'll love King John's castle in Limerick and Galway city of course.
Galway was amazing! It was such a charming and elegant city. Video on Galway coming out really soon.
I wish I was able to make it to Limerick and Cork but I unfortunately ran out of time. I’ll be back to Ireland soon though and will make sure to go. And thanks for the suggestion about King John’s castle! I’m adding it to my list for my Limerick trip.
@@landonkissell brilliant, and I'm looking forward 2 seeing Ur time in Galway. 💯👍
@@AlexJ.Goldsmith I am excited for you to watch :)
What? Galway, city of cars?
@@agaistinhe was referring to how the city is officially called Galway City. It is such a lovely city
Come see us in Belfast 😊
I visited Belfast and thought the city was wonderful! Video will be coming out soon so make sure to stay tuned 😊
Thank you man. I am an American as well trying to go to Dublin for my vacation in Winter. I have a U.S. Passport. Anything else I need to go there for like a visa?
Glad the video was helpful and that you are thinking of going to Dublin! It is an awesome city and you will love it.
Since you hold an American passport, no visa is needed! Simply just arrive there, say the customs you are here for tourism purposes, and they will let you in no problem
@@landonkissell Oh ok. Thank you sooo much for letting me know. You found Dublin very walkable? I heard there are some scenic nature spots outside of dublin, like cliffs. IS there abuundant transportation in Dublin? How did you get around Dublin? I love your vlog!
@@spursyankeesfan1306 Glad to help! And yes, Dublin is extremely walkable. You can get to all of the main sites within a 25 minute walk. There are also buses (and trains) that are very efficient. I walked everywhere but that is because I love walking but ta king the bus is very easy. In terms of scenic nature spots, Howth is a 27 minute DART train ride away which is stunning! The cliffs there are amazing and has a very charming harbor -- I actually have a video on it. The other main cliffs are pretty much in the west coast which are cool, but since Howth is so close I do not think you need to go out of your way to get to the west coast :)
Trinity college Dublin is not the oldest university in Europe or the world. It only dates from the 16th century, the university of Bologna is from the 11th century. .
I referenced it as “one of the oldest”, not the oldest, which 16th century certainly is one of the oldest. And that’s very interesting with university of bologna, thanks for the info!
@@landonkissell Trinity college Dublin is actually my Alma Mater, which is why I know a bit about it.
@@annedunne4526that must have been an amazing experience going there. Such an exquisite university. On February 27th I have a video specifically on trinity college so hopefully you’ll check it out and let me know what I got right and wrong 😊
Also rugby union is NOT the main sport played here-association football or soccer is and our national team is VERY IMPORTANT to us ,despite going through a very poor patch this last no of years.Dublin has 5 association football clubs whose support with the exception of UCD has surged in the last 4 years.Gaelic Football and Hurling are extremely popular also,with the national stadium Croke Park having a capacity of over 80,000 compared to Lansdowne Road stadium which you visited holding about 55,000.
That’s awesome how the Gaelic sports are so ingrained into the culture
you know it's late when you watch a random video recommended to you and the guy zooms in on my house
LMAO did I really? That is hilarious!
@@landonkissell yep in sandymount
@@Tianton1 haha that is awesome😂
Our public transport system is good? Only an American could say that, surprising considering this guy is from New York. I don’t hate your review mate and glad you enjoyed Dublin and are passionate about it, but you’re setting people up for being disappointed when they come to Dublin. I wouldn’t recommend tourists go drinking in Temple Bar.
I found it to be extremely efficient (specifically the bus service). Don't get me wrong though, I love the New York subway system. Unfortunately for me, public transportation in Europe is far better than the US. I enjoyed walking through Temple Bar, but I agree with you. I think everyone should walk through for the vibes, but actually eat and drink at one of the other amazing pubs in the city
Need to get out of Dublin if you want to experience "Irish Culture"
I made sure to visit Galway, and Howth too (Also Belfast, even though that is Northern Ireland). Wish I had time to make it make it to Kerry, Cork, etc.
Stay tuned for all my upcoming videos on Ireland coming out every Tuesday and Friday
There are people who still speak Gaeilge or Gaelic as you say. You have to go west. Aran Islands still speaks it. There are other towns that speak it regularly. Even cafes and restaurants where everything is in Gaeilge. Again, get out of Dublin and go west if you want the real Ireland. Nice video though. Looking forward to others. Safe travels✌🏼
Thank you for this information! Next time I am back I will have to make sure to head to the rest of the country that I was not able to get to, especially to see the Gaeilge language.
And thank you for checking out the video!
U in Dublin too
Haha yep, Dublin was awesome
@@landonkissell hey fella did you know that your 'White House' in Washington, DC was modeled on Dublin's Leinster house? which is the Irish Parliament building, it was Irish-born architect James Hoban who designed the 'White House' on Dublin's Leinster House, you can look this up on the 'White House DC' Wikipedia.
It's a pity I hadn't seen your video when you were in Dublin at the time, I would've suggested you go and check out Dublin's Leinster House cause you would've seen how they both look the same from their Roman-cement window frames and stone cut and arches.
This can really be seen from the view of 'The White House' from it's water fountain and front yard or backyard areas, you'll see how it looks just like Dublin's Leinster House.
This is so cool, man, cause if you click on the pics of the 'White House' on it's Wikipedia and keep flicking through them you'll come across a photo of 'The White House and Leinster House together and you'll see that they're twin buildings but one is painted white while the other is just a stone colored building.
Google european headquarters is in dublin and facebook
that is great that there are so many tech companies that have European headquarters in Dublin. I never knew that. I bet it contributes a lot to local business economy further showcasing Dublin’s economic power in Europe
@@landonkissell they pay very little tax here in ireland thats why their here but the jobs in these tec companies are given to foreign nationals its called globalisation🤔
@@gerarddeegan1164well that’s not good if these corporations are coming here for the tax breaks but not actually hiring Irish residents. Seems a bit unfair
@@gerarddeegan1164 They paid €15 billion in corporation tax and €37 billion in salaries (which is also taxed) to 200,000 employees. That's pretty crazy, without them we'd be goosed.
@@yermanoffthetelly yea but thats why their in ireland because our tax rate for them is lower than the rest of the world
Most vibrant? No. But its a nice city.
True probably not most vibrant but I still thought it was incredibly active
Lively maybe is a better word.
London is vibrant.
@@user-nc4rm8iv8j London definitely is extremely vibrant
TEMPLE BAR should be the LAST place a person would go to experience Irish Pub Culture-It is a plastic paradise with rip off pub prices and little or nothing to charm any tourist with.Take my advice stay well clear of it.There are plenty of great things to see and do-indeed many of them hidden....in Dublin but TEMPLE BAR should not be deemed worthy of anything more than a speedy rush through.
I think everyone should walk through Temple Bar as it’s part of getting the full Dublin experience. But yes I agree that there are so many places outside of temple bar where the food is better, atmosphere stronger, and better prices
He complaining about the rain but he is in Ireland?! What does he expect sun?! No sh,t it raining it always does like UK😂
haha well I wouldn’t say I was complaining. I think it’s an important observation to point out for someone who may be unfamiliar with weather there. I still had such a great time though!
Irelands not in the UK buddy
@@4l3xxe14 close enough where the. weather is still very similar though
I wish vloggers like yourself would stop including Temple Bar as something to do in Dublin. It's a tourist trap and way overpriced. Pints have gone over €10. Perhaps you're better off mentioning areas like Camden St, Baggot St, or Thomas St. It's otherwise a decent video.
My goal is to show the most well known parts of cities, even if it is sometimes "a little bit of a tourist trap" so I can give people a full comprehensive look on each city without leaving out anything. During the part on temple bar I mention that I think visitors should walk through here but avoid coming for a meal as there are so many other places across the city that are better (and have better prices) such as the area you mentioned😊
@@landonkissell mention the places you and I are thinking of then! The most well known places aren't necessarily the good spots. You could have mentioned Dalkey, Kilmainham, Howth, etc but never did.
@@kkeran1714 I made a whole video dedicated specifically to how I think Howth is the best day trip from Dublin if you wanted to check that out :)
@@landonkissell you should have mentioned Howth in that video and advised people to avoid Temple Bar.
@@kkeran1714 I did mention for people to not go to temple bar for a meal😅
