Less than 20 mins walk away, this is a must see. Hire a bike and cycle through the sprawling park with its wooded areas and ponds or visit Dublin Zoo, the 3rd oldest (but very modern) zoo in the world. There are parks within parks here in what is considered to be the largest walled park in Europe. Marvel at the wild deer or relax by the Wellington Obelisk and people watch instead. The Phoenix Park Visitor centre has a lovely cafe too.

A great place to relax where one can walk by the river and watch the rowers set their pace as swans glide by in their pairs. This is a truly unique park hidden away so that one forgets all the noise of a busy life.
