Overview
Laid out in 1662, this 707-hectare park (about 1,750 acres) is Europe's largest enclosed urban park — five times the size of London's Hyde Park. About 600 wild fallow deer roam freely, and the grounds contain Áras an Uachtaráin (the Irish President's residence), Dublin Zoo, the 30-meter Wellington Monument (1747), and the Papal Cross where Pope John Paul II said Mass for a million people in 1979. Renting a bike to loop the park is the best way to see it, and each July the Bloom Festival — Europe's largest garden show — takes place here. Free entry. 10-minute walk from Luas Red Line Heuston.
Travel Tips
Bike rentals are available near the park entrance (about EUR 15-20/day). The deer aren't shy — great for photos, but please don't touch them.
