I'm from Canada. I planned to ask her at Blarney after kissing the stone but the place is closed the only time we can get down there in the ten days we're in Ireland. Need good spots in or around Dublin please!

dublin has some nice spots, try up near stocking lane near masseys wood, theres a place called lookout point on the way to johnny fox's pub, its on the way up to the sally-gap on the wicklow mountains so u can see all over dublin, and its real pretty at night, cause all the lights are on then.
basically u head out to rathfarnham and head up stocking lane(following the hard to see sign for johnny foxs pub), then ull pass over the m50 and continue uphill, but eventually ull get to lookout point in a mile or 2 and this is also where my sister was proposed too.
there might be other people there also with the same idea.
just keep in mind its a good 40mins drive home in the same car if she says no......
if u need more directions email me and ill do my best

If you intend to spend your holyday in an alternative place then Dublin is that place, see more with hotelbye . In Dublin you will see several intriguing things and areas, the Dublin Zoo and The National Gallery of Ireland are just two of the most effective attractions here. Trinity College is also a good appeal for just about any tourist. Trinity College is in the centre of the capital and is really a packed saturated in unbelievable history. This university may be the oldest in Ireland and has been started in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I.

Hi, I would either go to St Stephens Green (it's a huge park) or Phoenix Park near the monument. Halfpenny Bridge is a quaint bridge the river is the Liffey. Even take a look at the Guinness Factory when you reach the top there is a 360 degree view of Dublin it is amazing. Wherever you decide i love Dublin it is a lovely city i will be back there in January. Congratulations !!!!

You could go to St Valentine's shrine in Whitefriar Street Church where the Reliquary containing his remains are. They have a Blessing of Rings for those about to be married on St.Valentine's day February 14 if you will be in Dublin around then. Or you could take a horse-drawn carriage tour around Dublin from the top of Grafton Street. The Limousine company below organise special 'proposal' limousine tours and a helicopter ride over Dublin city.

Well Blarney is all the way down south near Cork. Maybe on top of sugar loaf mountain. If it is a clear day its a nice view. Out on Howth is nice too. Maybe the hill of Tara. If you are there for the solstice you could try newgrange where the sun rise hits into passage way. Might be hard to get in on the 21st but I think it also happens the day before and after. You also need the weather to cooperate. Good luck.

I have been here many times. It is just outside Dublin and can reached quitw easily in a couple of hours I would say even maybe less time but to be safe say two hours.
Even the avenue leading to the Palladian house echoes the magnificence of the whole estate, being a mile long and lined by over 2,000 beech trees. In addition the 47 acres of gardens are remarkable for their grandeur of scale, at the same time combining great delicacy and refinement of detail.
There is also a 398ft waterfall.
Hope this helps. Good luck

In a horse-drawn carriage clip clopping round Dublin would be romantic. If the weather is kind. Tell the driver what you mean to do so that he can pick a suitable route. Good luck.

Anywhere you want, bud .... but a good place would be the pier at Dun Laoghaire, just take the DART towards Bray, it's a nice trip, and when the weather is nice the bay looks very pretty.

Howth is nice.
Trinity College looks nice too.
Or you could go to glendalough, its about 60km south of Dublin.
keep in mind the weather is less than lovely during the winter.
