CAPA WORLD

Instagram addict? If you're studying abroad in Dublin, take note; here are 10 of our favorite places to take snap away in this CAPA global city!

1. DOORS OF DUBLIN. The famous brightly-painted doors can be seen all over Dublin, and have become such a difining characteristic of the city. However you frame them with your lens, they’ll certainly add a splash of colour to your Instagram palette. #NoFilterNeeded!

2. PORTOBELLO GRAND CANAL. At less than a 10-minute walk from Griffith College, the Grand Canal is the perfect spot to capture the barges drifting along the canal or the reflection of the trees and bridges in the water. You might even spot some ducks with their ducklings along the way for a touch on insta-cuteness!

Whether you share the images as they are or use them as vibrant selfie backgrounds, the public art in Dublin is sure to inspire.
