In the leafy lanes of Merrion Square, a Georgian door stands ajar to the past, inviting you into the world of Oscar Wilde, a man whose wit was as sharp as his pen. The Oscar Wilde House, his childhood abode, isn’t just a building; it's a gateway to the late 1800s, offering a glimpse into the formative years of a literary genius. Touring this house, you'll find yourself whispering, "Either this wallpaper goes, or I do," appreciating the fearless quirkiness that characterised Wilde's life and work.

Best time/season to visit: The house welcomes visitors year-round, but spring and autumn offer the perfect backdrop for a stroll through Merrion Square, where the spirit of Wilde whispers through the blooms and fallen leaves.
