Dublin Castle, Dublin

A bit disappointed with this castle 🏰 I've been to so many that this one looks bland in comparison. The price is quite expensive for a self guided tour for such a small castle. There is close to no sign explaining the paintings, we don't know who painted them, when it was painted and where it is from. Moreover the lighting could use some serious work, you cannot even take a proper look at a lot of those painting because the light is blasting onto them. The rooms explanations are a bit short. I don't feel like I learn a lot during the visit. The staff wasn't nice at all compared to the other places I've visited in Dublin so far. On the bright side, the buffet hall looks incredible! I really liked it. I also enjoyed one of the last room with the sculptures looking alike paintings! If you have spare time, spare money, and it's raining outside go check it out. Otherwise I wouldn't bother putting it on my bucket list. Go the Chester Library instead, the staff is great there and the collection is pretty damn cool 😜

It was beautiful! It was everything I expected a real castle to look like. It's amazing to stand in history. I loved the details posted about the rooms. It was very informative. I highly suggest going there and experiencing Ireland, and what its been through as a country.
