While the capital of Ireland is certainly a well-visited destination, it\u2019s often regarded as small and touristy, crowded with intoxicated visitors, a place that doesn\u2019t need to be frequented more than once. But there&#8217;s actually so much more to Dublin than the stereotypical pints of beer and pots of gold. Next time you&#8217;re in town, try your hand at any of these 13 fun and interesting things to do.
