Seven Instagram-worthy places you won’t believe are in Dublin

Grab your phone and get snapping. You might have heard of some of these places before, you might even pass some of them on your commute home. But just how many of them have you Instagrammed? Here is our list of hidden photographic gems in the capital. 1. Irish National War Memorial Gardens Based in Islandbridge, The Irish National War Memorial Gardens are definitely worth a visit. Created in memory of the 49,400 Irish soldiers who died in the 1914 – 1918 war the gardens are both beautiful and sombre.

  2. Baily Lighthouse Sitting on the South-Eastern point of Howth Head, Baily Lighthouse looks like something straight out of an American romcom. The lighthouse has been on this site since 1814 and we can't get enough pretty pictures of it.

  3. Skerries Mill Skerries Mill in North Dublin is a favourite with tourists but is often overlooked by locals. The old-fashioned mill makes the perfect day trip, which let's face it wouldn't be complete without a quick snap.

  5. Drimnagh Castle This Norman castle in South Dublin is too picture perfect for words. The castle's gardens  provide plenty of photo ops for all those snap-happy people out there.

  6. Irish Museum of Modern Art To be honest the last place we would imagine taking photographs in would be a museum, but the Irish Museum of Modern Art has proved us wrong. Have a look at this amazing picture of the museum's courtyard for some inspiration.
