Picture this: a bright green DoDublin open-top tour bus, proudly parked at the Dublin Bus stop in Phoenix Park, ready to whisk tourists away on a hop-on, hop-off adventure through the charming streets of Dublin. But today, this bus has some rather unusual passengers hitching a ride! A giant inflatable unicorn, a cheeky eggplant, a mischievous squirrel, and a pink pig are all hanging out near the iconic Wellington Monument, looking like they’ve just escaped from a parade—or perhaps the Dublin Zoo nearby decided to throw a costume party. The bus driver, unfazed by the quirky crew, is probably wondering if these characters have their tickets ready for the next stop at Temple Bar!
The DoDublin sightseeing tour is a tourist favorite, and for good reason. With its hop-on, hop-off flexibility, you can jump off to sip a pint at the Guinness Storehouse, explore the historic Trinity College, or snap a selfie at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, then hop back on to continue the journey. The open-top bus gives you the best views of Dublin’s vibrant streets, from the colorful Georgian doors to the bustling energy of Grafton Street. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned visitor, DoDublin’s lively commentary and iconic green buses make every ride a delight—though today’s passengers might be adding a bit more flair than usual!
Phoenix Park itself is a gem worth exploring, sprawling over 1,750 acres as one of the largest enclosed parks in any European capital. It’s home to the Dublin Zoo, where you can meet real animals (not just inflatable ones!), from roaring lions to playful penguins. The park also houses the elegant Áras an Uachtaráin, the residence of the President of Ireland, and the towering Wellington Monument, where our inflatable friends seem to be staging their impromptu photoshoot. With its rolling green fields and ancient deer herds, Phoenix Park is the perfect spot to stretch your legs—or your inflatable hooves—before hopping back on the DoDublin bus for more city adventures. Just don’t be surprised if the unicorn tries to claim the front seat!
