A trip through St Michan's Church and Crypts will leave surely leave a spooky impression on you. These underground vaults in Dublin aren't for the faint of heart, from crusaders bodies, the famed Sheares brothers and other remains can be seen. Found within the church, a beautiful organ once played by Handel is the piece de resistance.

Awash in splendid Georgian architecture, the courtly Leinster House is well known as the seat of the Oireachtas. An erstwhile aristocratic palace of the Duke of Leinster, this magnificent house now forms the ground for some of the country's significant political and legislative decisions. The house was originally built between 1745 to 1748, and is marvelously fronted by statues, manicured lawns and a soaring cenotaph which dedicates itself to lives lost in the fight for Irish Independence. Over the years, the house has received significant renovations, including the Victorian Dáil Chamber, and opulent meeting rooms. A site boasting immense glory and stature, this sprawling, grey house resembles a photograph of a pastoral manor drawn straight out of the Irish countryside.

Housing more than 6,000,000 volumes, the Trinity College Library is one of the largest libraries in Ireland. Although occupying several buildings, four of the main ones are located in the Trinity College Campus itself. From the four, the main drawcard is the Old Library that not only houses the 65-meter-long (213 feet) Long Room, but also houses the Book of Kells that contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. Other items in the library that are equally fascinating include the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic, the Book of Durrow and the Book of Howth. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself mesmerized by the beauty and ancient charm of the magnificent library as well as the amazing collection of ancient texts. After you have toured the library, head to the Trinity College Library Shop and buy some souvenirs for friends and family.

This small Dublin church has a colorful reputation that it may or may not actually deserve. Built by Fr. John Spratt in 1825, Whitefriar's was designed by Sir George Papworth, who was also responsible for building the St Mary's Pro-Cathedral the previous year. Although the claim has recently been questioned, Whitefriar's claims to possess the remains of St. Valentine. According to the story, Spratt visited Rome in 1835, met Pope Gregory XVI and was given the remains as a gift. The church now boasts a specially designed altar and shrine as well as a statue designed by Irene Broe depicting Saint Valentine holding a crocus plant - the symbol of spring.
