 Double Decker Tour Bus by Cruefan
The tour was 12.50 Euro each and it takes you to all the popular Dublin attractions. It's a hop on hop off tour and your ticket is good a full 24-hours from purchase.
You can buy your tickets from the main office of Dublin Bus on O'Connell Str (just look for the tour buses) of at any stop along the way. The only downside is that traffic in Dublin is terrible and the tour has it's slow times.

 Liffey Boardwalk by caoimhin
It covers not only the usual tourist attractions but also the Guiness Store House and Jamesons Distillery. By the end of the tour you are usually life-long friends with everyone on the bus, including the driver.
It also shows you parts of the city you would never normally get to see. Leave a Comment

I really only did one 'sightseeing' thing when I was in Dublin and that was going on a bus tour. Due to not having a lot of time in the city (and spending my nights at clubs or down in Co. Wexford) I didn't go into any of the museums or galleries - at least that gives me plenty to do on my next trip!
Anyway I took a City Sightseeing Dublin bus from Upper O'Connell St and took the route that goes all over the city (the red route, the other route is yellow). I think the best thing about this sightseeing tour was the driver - Pat. He was a great guy, perfect as a commentator, and guided us around his city. His running commentary on the city was informative, funny and honest. He was definitely a 'tell it like it is' man. But even if you don't get Pat as your driver, I think the recorded commentary would still be just as informative.
The tour goes over the north and south parts of the city and even out and into Phoenix Park. It is a hop-on hop-off tour, and will stop at places like: Guinness Storehouse, National Museum, Old Jameson Distillery, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Trinity College, Temple Bar, St. Stephen's Green and many other places.
Tours are in: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Italian and Russian.
They run (on average) every 15 minutes.
Tickets (valid on both routes)
Adult: EUR 14
Concession (Student): EUR 12
Child (5-15 yrs old): EUR 5
With your ticket you can also get discounts on museums, galleries, distilleries and Supermacs (see website below for more details).

We honestly didnýt have any clue as to which tour we should go on, and in the end it didnýt matter because this one was the only one that had room for us. We had a blast, even though it was a large group. The first place we visited was the Hill of Tara, where one can supposedly see six different counties in Ireland at once. We had remarkable weather and the Hill was very beautiful. Then we visited Trim Castle, the site of the ýBraveheartý movie, and Newgrange. Newgrange was awesome. Itýs this really old (as in 5,000 years old which makes it older than Stonehenge) tomb thatýs on par with the pyramids age-wise and historically. And we got to go inside! We also visited the new Brý na Boinne Visitor Centre. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and cheerful and gave us a lot of little trivial information along the way.

Brilliant way to experience traditional Irish music, learn a bit about it, have a laugh, and enjoy a few pints all at the same time!!
2 Irish musicians take you to a few pubs (special reserved area in the pub), and then tell you all about Irish music, play you many different tunes and songs, teach you a bit about the instruments - all with a bit of comedy too!! My stomach hurt by the end of the evening!!
The whole thing lasts about 2 and 1/2 hours and costs about 12euro's - well worth it!!

Located around 5km from the city centre.....easily accessed by DART (train) or bus.
Howth things to do....
1. Grab a pint in the Bloody Stream pub...located under the DART station....there was a battle fought here donkeys years ago and thats how it gots its name...o and there was a stream that used to run here that is no more.
2. Deer Park.- sorry no Deers here but there is a castle and golf course which also has great views over Dublin bay........take a right when coming out of the DART station and its then on the left hand side of the road...you can miss it....bit of a walk up the hill but its worth it, stunning views..
3. Howth Harbour.....take a left out of the DART station....here you will find a nice small fishing harbour that has some great pubs and restauraunts......try EL PASO its a mexican and not bad :0) or take a walk down to Annes shop and get an 99 ICE CREAM...there yummy....theres also a Beshoffs fish n chip shop here....tasty...take a walk around the harbour and up around the village you will come accross some nice beaches on your travels here.
4. Howth Summit.....you can get the best views over Dublin bay and city here......from the train station.....long walk...basically head towards the highest peak......walk towards the harbour and then walk past the huge church in the middle of the village...from there ask anyone where the summit is...not hard to find. Leave a Comment Address: HowthDirections: Look at your Dublin map its looks like a big head sticking out into the sea.you could walk to here from the city along the coast, I highly recommend this as you walk by dollymount beach/strand which is really nice...the walk would take around 2 hours

Why go there? Has a great Marina,, good bars/pubs, restauraunts, castle, sea views, cafes and a even few shops.
Located in North County Dublin, 30 mins from the city centre.
Best way to get there? Get the DART (train) yes its the big green train.
On exiting the DART station make a left from here your only a few steps from Malahide village, marina etc
To find malahide castle take a right when leaving the train station, as you walk up the road you will see an entrance to a park on your left from here you will take a path which will lead you to Malahide castle and grounds, you can get guided tours here, there is also a model railway tour located beside the castle :0) Leave a Comment Address: north county dublinDirections: On your map of Dublin follow the coast north of the city centre....here you will find Malahide :0)
