Create an itinerary including Phoenix Park

Wilderness in the middle of a big city, Phoenix Park features tree-lined avenues and vast grasslands and is home to a herd of wild deer. Encompassing over 700 hectares (1,700 acres), the park serves as one of the largest walled urban parks in Europe. The site includes a zoo, cricket and polo grounds, and several 18th century mansions, including one serving as the official residence of the country's president. To see the best of this big park quickly, rent a bike and ride all or part of a 14 km (8 mi) long network of traffic-free lanes. You can also hop on the tourist train that stops at the park's Victorian garden, noted for its ornamental lake, playgrounds, and picnic areas.

Fantastic park, it's absolutely stunning. Very well maintained. Lovely place for a walk at any time of the year. Parking can be tricky at times, but there's plenty available at off-peak times. Dublin, you're beautiful.

If you are looking for a place for physical activity, contact with nature, beauty and taking beautiful photos, this is the place. a huge park, full of animal life and very well maintained. I enjoyed the experience, a pity it was so cold 🥶 @arnonlustosa

A beautiful way to spend a few hours. There is so much to see and it is a gorgeous park! It was great for an afternoon stroll on our first day in Dublin. So much greenery and history all in one.

This park is amazing! Very beautiful, big, full of wonderful views and with servants on the loose! I really enjoy coming here for a walk. If you can, come with water and a snack so you can sit and enjoy the scenery.

Only some parts are interesting and well kept. For the most parts it is just lawns. The deer are interesting and I imagine it is cool for running and cycling and dog-walking. Otherwise a pretty normal, if big, park.
