museum
EPIC and the Custom House quay give Dublin a stronger docklands and migration-history layer than the Georgian core alone suggests.
Best time: Late morning or afternoon.
Crowd level: low
Visit duration: about 90 minutes
Quiet alternative: Use this as a docklands extension only if it improves the trip's balance rather than just adding mileage.
Best from Trinity and docklands-edge hotels where the eastward extension still feels manageable on foot.
