clodagh

Sometimes, some of the best things in life come at a price. Sometimes that price can be an alarm at 4.30am in the morning.

That’s what’s needed if you want to witness one of the most natural and gorgeous things possible; a sunrise.

Sunsets are overrated. We’re all sick of seeing them on our Snapchat and Instagram feeds, so change it up. Watch the sunrise. Do it, from any of these perfect locations.

1. Killiney Hill

This will give you a great view of Dublin bay, to set your day off right. Faaabulous.

 

2. Howth Pier

A firm favourite among for a casual stroll can be made even better with a sunrise.

8. Samuel Beckett Bridge

Or any of the bridges in the city centre. If you get there early enough before work, you’re guaranteed an amazing sunrise. You just might need some extra coffee to get through the day.
