There are few things more beautiful than Ireland in autumn. When the air turns chillier, and the leaves change, it\u2019s time to get out and explore Dublin!

1. Celebrate the Harvest by Hitting a Farmer\u2019s Market<\/span><\/h2>\n

Every weekend throughout the autumn, you can find <\/span>farmer\u2019s markets<\/span><\/a> spread throughout the city. It\u2019s a wonderful chance to explore Irish artists and craftspeople (and maybe even pick up some early Christmas gifts). But the focus is on the delicious local fruits and vegetables. This is a perfect way to <\/span>eat healthy on a budget<\/span><\/a>\u2014and sample some of the tastiest produce in Europe. Looking for an extra special study treat? You\u2019ll also find artesian food treasures, like local cheeses, preserves, ales, and chocolates. Savour what\u2019s most delicious about autumn!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Go on a Literary Pub Crawl<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ireland has a rich and meaningful literary tradition, and the heart of this history beats in Dublin. Dive into the stories of Ireland\u2019s most celebrated authors\u2014while having a great time\u2014with the <\/span>Literary Pub Crawl<\/span><\/a>. You\u2019ll be guided by hilarious and informative actor-hosts through the city and several pubs, learning about literature and Dublin itself. You\u2019ll find that the authors\u2019 lives and words feel much more real after seeing Dublin through their eyes. Even better? They offer a <\/span>student discount<\/span><\/a>! This activity is seriously one of the most fun things to do in Dublin when you\u2019re at uni. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you find yourself free from class on a particularly cold, rainy autumn day, you\u2019re not out of luck. Take advantage of the dreary weather and head to one of the celebrated museums Dublin offers. You can view the classics at the <\/span>National Gallery of Ireland<\/span><\/a> and celebrate the art of the past. Or, for something more contemporary, you can check out the <\/span>Irish Museum of Modern Art<\/span><\/a>. Whatever you fancy, you can find the art that speaks to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Admire the Colours at a Local Park<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ireland may be known for its green landscapes, but in autumn, all the colours come alive. Thankfully, Dublin is full of gorgeous public parks that allow you to admire the foliage. If your studies have you feeling mental, decompress with a calming, meandering walk through Dublin\u2019s central park, <\/span>St Stephens Green<\/span><\/a>. Up for something more active? <\/span>Phoenix Park<\/span><\/a> is the largest enclosed park in any European capital city. They offer bikes for rent, so you can work out while you check out the colourful trees. You may even be lucky enough to come across a deer or other wildlife.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Embrace Ireland\u2019s Beauty by Hitting the Beach<\/span><\/h2>\n

Autumn in Ireland is all about dramatic beauty. Romantic fog, brilliant leaves, crisp air, and that magical feeling found only in Ireland as the year winds down. One of the best ways to fully experience it may also be an unexpected one\u2014heading to the beach. While summer on Ireland\u2019s beaches is spectacular, there\u2019s nothing like taking in the seascape on a dreamy autumn day. Catch a ride on the <\/span>DART<\/span><\/a> and head to one of the gorgeous shores nearby. In less than 30 minutes, you can feel like you\u2019ve completely escaped your day-to-day life.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Discover the Secrets of Ireland\u2019s Favourite Brew at the Guinness Storehouse<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nothing says Ireland like a frosty mug of Guinness. Take a tour of this <\/span>multi-story attraction<\/span><\/a> focused on the history, production, and modern relevance of Dublin\u2019s beloved stout. We particularly love hitting it in the fall for the spectacular views from its <\/span>Gravity Bar<\/span><\/a>. Thanks to its 360-degree views, you\u2019ll be treated to the most jaw-dropping vista of Dublin\u2019s autumn beauty. Take advantage of their student discounts and make a day of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Warm-up with some of Dublin\u2019s Best Traditional Food<\/span><\/h2>\n

What\u2019s the best thing to do after a day spent adventuring in the chilly fall temps? Filling yourself with the comforting warmth of <\/span>traditional Irish food<\/span><\/a>. Shepherd\u2019s pie, Irish stew, colcannon, and soda bread all leave you feeling cosy and nourished. Dublin is full of traditional pubs and restaurants serving up the classics. But some of our faves are <\/span>Delahunt<\/span><\/a> (which was mentioned in James Joyce\u2019s Ulysses) and <\/span>Madigan\u2019s Earl Street<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
