    The double deck bus tours are a great way to get around the city and to many of the major sites. The top deck of the bus is open, and when I rode up there I was able to see a lot more interesting architectural details than I could from the ground. There are two different lines - the red and the yellow. The ticket is good for both lines and lasts for 24 h, so if you purchase it in the afternoon of one day, it's still good for the next morning.

    This is fun bus tour of the city you can get on and off. The tickets are good for longer than the day, so it isn't a bad deal (10 Euro when we were there). You can also use this bus a means of transportation, but during peak traffic hours you are better off walking.

    Dublin city bus tour

    Another good way in seeing the city is by taking a city tour bus. You can get off at any stop while on the tour but its worth staying on and getting all the information on the places you wish to see first.

    Dublin tour bus

    This is one of many typical tour buses of Dublin.

    You can get on one that hops on and off at the major attractions for about $15.00.

    We just walked the city by foot. It is a very walkable city unless you are tired and then I recommend this method.

    that's my elbow

    a great way to see most of the sites is to take the city bus tour. of course, riding the tour bus you pretty much stick out. you'll get heckled by the locals, but who cares... you are there to see the town. and not everyone is like that. the cool thing aboot the bus tour is that for a 24hour period, you can get off whenever and ride the next one. that way if you know what you want to see, or where you want to go this allows you to do so.
