One of the best things about Dublin (perhaps its most of Europe) is all of the national attractions are free.

Dublin’s National Botanic Gardens is a lovely place to spend the day. There are multiple greenhouses, gardens, even a little vegetable garden, a cafe and small gift shop. I especially enjoyed the succulent house, making me miss all my little succulent babies back home.

My favorite flower is the tulip and April just happened to be the perfect time to visit the Gardens for tulips. I’m excited to visit again (since its free!) during the summer when everything is in bloom.
