Broke after Christmas? We've compiled a list of some things to do in Dublin that won't break the bank.
If you’re living on beans on toast and counting down the days 'til payday, check out these cheap activities taking place across the city:
Bowling
For less than a tenner, you can don the fashionable shoes and enjoy an old-fashioned bowling game. Leisureplex has five locations dotted around Dublin with almost every corner of the city covered.
It’s great craic and they even do special offer nights the odd time, which is ideal if you’re looking for a great night out on the cheap.
Go For A Hike
From the Howth Cliff Walk to The Hellfire Club, our city has a wide array of breathtaking walks and hikes. It's an ideal day out if you’re at a loose end over the weekend.
You’ll take in some of the best panoramic views in Dublin, get some fresh air and possibly take a new picture for your Instagram profile. It's a win-win!
Ardgillan Castle
Nestled on the North Dublin coast between Balbriggan and Skerries, Ardgillan Castle is a hidden gem and is packed with family friendly activities.
Take a magical wander down the fairy tree trail, marvel at the beautiful rose garden or stop off for a scone in their tearooms.
You can even head on a guided tour of the castle, which was first built in the 18th century!

Comedy Night
We all need a laugh this January and we’re very lucky to have top quality, cheap, weekly comedy nights in our city. Pop in to see some of your favourite faces in the Comedy Crunch at the Stag’s Head or catch some of the more up-and-coming comedians at Pop the Cherry Comedy in Whelan’s.
Wherever you choose, you’re guaranteed to leave the gig feeling so much better than when you went in.

A Games Night In Token Dublin
Token in Smithfield is one of the Dublin's most unique destinations. Take a trip down memory lane and play the likes of Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Mariokart.
They also have a pretty tasty (and very reasonably-priced) lunch and dinner options which will give you even more energy to take your friends on at Mariokart.
