3. Go on a mystery tour – with a difference.

Not a dodgy nightclub in sight! 

Jump on the nearest mode of transport, get off at a random stop and explore. A little research prior may help you avoid going anywhere really dull – but where’s the fun in that?

Alternatively, you can do your bit to save the planet and take bikes. Tandem, anyone?

4. Open your mind at the Science Gallery

Awaken yer brain cells learning something new at Trinity’s Science Gallery – then put them back to sleep with pints at the Pav. Mmmm.

It’s open ’til 8 most evenings, so it’s a grand and early jaunt if you’re both working the next day.

6. Did somebody say ‘roller disco’?!

It was us. We said roller disco.

Based on Long Mile Road, partake in the ultimate boogie on wheels with your BFF at Spin Activity Centre. Grab a hotdog after in the American-style diner, and nurse each other’s (inevitable) bruised limbs.

If it’s good enough for the Kardashian-Jenners, it’s good enough for you.
