Freedom means a break from spending. The entry to the most beautiful museums and galleries is absolutely free. The treasures are endless in the city, from the paintings of Caravaggio and Jack Yeats at the National Gallery to mummified bodies at the National Museum of Archeology.

5. Walk on Beaches
With the entire splendor encompassed in the city, it is easy to forget that Dublin is a city by the sea.
