Framing pictures all day means I know a good angle when I see one, and these pitches have better light than half the galleries I work in. Twelve spots around the city where I've stood in the rain, queued for a lukewarm tea, and still had a grand time. Bring a coat, Dublin doesn't do dry spectating.

Grounds worth the bus fare — 4 items
Name	Sport	Address	City	My take
1Croke Park	GAA football and hurling	Jones's Road, Drumcondra	Dublin	Hill 16 on All-Ireland day will rearrange your internal organs, in a good way. Nothing else comes close.
2Aviva Stadium	Rugby and football	62 Lansdowne Road, Ballsbridge	Dublin	Gleaming and corporate but the atmosphere for a Six Nations match still gets the hairs up. Bring your wallet, Ballsbridge isn't cheap.
3Dalymount Park	—	—	—	—
4Sport Ireland National Aquatic Centre	Swimming and diving	Snugborough Road, Blanchardstown	Dublin	Went for a work thing, stayed for the flume. Chlorine smell follows you home but worth it.
