Check out the Chester Beatty Library, Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Dublin Writers Museum and Dublinia & the Viking World. I particularly love the last one.
You can also visit the Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship Museum and Kilmainham Gaol for more unique attractions.
If you’re an Oscar Wilde fan be sure to hit Merrion Square. And if you’re into parks, Phoenix Park is the biggest enclosed park in Europe.

To travel in Dublin’s ‘fair city’ is a truly marvelous experience, even if you only have three days in which to do it. http://www.jurysinns.com/jurysinnformation/what-to-do-in-dublin-in-3-days

We’ve just come back from a trip in Dublin and visited the various places we wanted, this way:
Day 1: we took a bus to Kilmainham Gaol in the morning, then when the visit was over we walked to the Guinness Storehouse (but I guess you can also go there by bus to save time) and spent some time in the gift shop (I’m not a fan of Guinness either and moreover the ticket price is unreasonably high: 14 €!!!) . Then we took the bus back to the City Centre and went to the Trinity College and saw the Book of Kells and the Long Room.
Day 2: we took a bus to Malahide (20 minutes approx) and went down right in front of Malahide Castle. We had a guided tour inside Malahide Castle (there were only the two of us!!! I enjoyed it very much) and sepnt some time in its HUGE park, although the weather was rainy, so that wasn’t really ideal… Then we went back to the city centre and went to Dublin Castle. We arrived there at 1:30 pm but the first available guided tour (lasting about 1 hour) was at 2:20 because they limit the number of people in each group. So in the meanwhile we had a little walk around the castle and relaxed in the beautiful garden near the Chester Beatty Library. Then we spent some time doing some shopping in Grafton Street and in St. Stephen’s Green.
Day 3 (sadly – the last day): in the morning we went to Merrion Square to see Wilde’s statue and birthplace (from the outside, of course) and then visited “Number Twenty Nine”, a Georgian House Museum which is “a completely restored middle class house of the late 18th century ” (just round the corner of Merrion square). The guided tour lasted about one hour. Maybe this is what I liked most during my 3 days in Dublin, the lady who guided us was very nice. Then we had to take our flight back home.
As far as Temple Bar is concerned, we went there almost every night for dinner and spent some time in the various pubs when we had some time between one visit and the other.
Cheers
If you’re going to move around by bus, I’d suggest that you buy the 3-day Rambler ticket. It costs 11 € and allows you to hop on and off buses whenever you like.
Drink a beer in one of the many pubs for me
