Dublin Days: Part one Wilde about Oscar!

I have just returned from a short city break to Dublin. Today I thought I would share my experience of visiting the home of Oscar Wilde.

Dublin city break

Those of you who follow my blogs will know how much I love to travel. If money allowed, I would go on more holidays. I have a long list of destinations I would love to visit. My last trip was to Sicily in 2024, so I was definatley ready to pack my bags again!

I was fortunate to be able to visit the republic of Ireland recently. As I was only going to be visiting for a few days it made sense to just explore the capital city, Dublin.

I have many places within Ireland that I want to visit and as I didn’t have time on this occasion, I will just have to return to this beautiful island!

Oscar Wilde house

On the first day we decided to take a visit to the childhood home of the divisive Victorian playwright Oscar Wilde. It was a facinating visit to this house with such an interesting history.

Most people are familiar with his novels The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). I was also aware of his run in with the law over his sexuality. However, I was not aware of his parents and the role they played in Victorian society. It was a facinating visit!
