Thinking of popping the question? Take our advice on some of the best locations to get down on one knee around Dublin!
Stephen’s Green, City Centre
St. Stephen's Green (Ireland's Content Pool)
A predictable, but iconic location, what’s not to like about Stephen’s Green on a fresh and sunny day? Catch her off guard in an old bandstand, or more subtly on a rustic bench.
Ha’Penny Bridge, Temple Bar
The Ha'penny Bridge (Ireland's Content Pool)
This may be a tad more touristy than tasteful, but will defiantly add to the shock factor, and who knows, onlookers may applaud your bravery in such an open proposal setting. Why not attach a love lock while you’re there, despite the almost definite fact the County Council will clip it off.
Howth, North County
Howth (Ireland's Content Pool)
Even if she hates hiking, dragging her onto the side on a windswept mountain, with a spectacular view over Dublin Bay and the Wicklow Mountains on a clear day, could make even the most reluctant walker into a blushing bride to be!
National Gallery of Ireland, Merrion Square West
National Gallery of Ireland (Ireland's Content Pool)
A great date location at any stage of a relationship could also make a perfect proposal spot. In front of a painting, you both like, or her favorite artist's? Even the stairwell is beautiful and romantic.
Dublin Castle, Christchurch
Dublin Castle (Ireland's Content Pool)
Treat her like a princess starring in her own fairytale! Dublin Castle could be the ideal spot to make her fantasies come true... Although we won’t be taking the blame if you end up with a castle and fairytale-themed wedding too.
Oscar Wilde Statue, Merrion Square Park
The Oscar Wilde statue (Ireland's Content Pool)
“Women are meant to be loved, not understood.”
Famous words from a man who knew where to stand. This line from Oscar Wilde could be a great one to pull if you aren’t so well-spoken yourself, and I’m sure she’ll agree (and hold it against you too).
Iveagh Gardens, Dublin 2
Iveagh Gardens (Ireland's Content Pool)
This hidden treasure, just off Harcourt Street, can be a discrete location for an intimate proposal. With quaint little winding paths, it’s an enactment from any period drama. But if you’re using a real ring, watch out for those magpies! They rule this park!
Guinness Storehouse, Gravity Bar
Gravity Bar (Ireland's Content Pool)
Incredible 360-degree views over the Dublin skyline, particularly beautiful at sunset (say 'awwww'). This would be the perfect venue for an exclusive, unforgettable party or intimate soiree. Did someone say engagement party?!
The Dean, Harcourt Street
The Dean (The Dean Dublin, Facebook)
This boutique Dublin hotel, offers luxury rooms, a rooftop garden, and cocktails to die for! Why not treat her to an indulgent staycation, with a spa, cocktail bar, two restaurants, club beneath, interiors to lust after... and on top of it all you’re going to propose? Bonus points if you can get the cool 'I fell in love here' neon sign in pictures. Lucky gal!
