In a nutshell
Great if you can avoid English stag nights
70 Reviews The tour of this gaol and its museum was the highlight of our trip to Dublin. Fascinating insight to the more recent Irish history and the struggles for independence. Our tour guide was fantastic - just the right amount of information, never boring. Just a word of advice: don't bring children...
164 Reviews Hi Everyone, I recently visited Dublin and I had such a great time there, the Guiness Brewery is very interesting and fun but if you want the perfect Dublin experience do not miss a night out at the Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship! I really can recommend it to everybody as it is an unusual but...
4 Reviews and 715 Opinions If location is a must and you have the extra to spend, Westbury's is certainly a place to go. Just...
21 Reviews Fish & Chips... if you want to experience what Dubliners have been eating for years on end, check out Leo Burdocks in Werberg Street. This is a landmark where there is always a queue and well worth the wait. It's a take away which means basically no sitting down. However if you go towards Christ...
23 Reviews Good old cool Bad Ass transformed in the autumn 2011. The refurbishment gone wrong and originality lost. With that unfortunately the food didn't improve. Used to be a customer in the past and enjoyed the atmosphere and food. However after trying the new-old I will not come back. Any other pub will...
126 Reviews Dublin is one of the places in the world with the liveliest nightlife. Temple Bar is an area where the bars and restaurants are side by side, the choice becoming very difficult. We wanted live music, and that narrows the options. A little bit... only a little bit!
74 Reviews Copper Face Jacks is a nightclub that is for fun and single people. It's well know to be a pick up place , well know for Teachers, guards, and nurses along with the odd prison officer thrown in (excuse the pun). Located in Harcourt street, the nightclub is always packed and everyone knows the name...
43 Reviews There are three various bus connections from the airport to the O'Connell Street stop in the city center - Aircoach, AirLink and city bus (route No.16A). The stop for last named bus is bit hidden to travelers. Because when you exit the airport hall, you only see stops for Airlink and Aircoach. So...
DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit)
50 Reviews When my son & I decided to visit Dun Laoghaire/Sandycove to see the Irish Sea, we opted to use the DART train as a simple, effective, inexpensive means of transportation. We reached Sandycove in about 20 minutes and the ride felt safe, sleek, fast. An adult day return from City Centre to Sandycove...
39 Reviews This building originally was the city mansion of Viscount Powerscourt and was built in 1774 with granite from the Powercourt county Wicklow estate. In 1981 it was turned into an upmarket centre with galleries, antique shops, restaurants, independent fashion shops with upmarket clothes. The...
50 Reviews Lush store concept is truly unique. The hand-made natural soaps are shaped like foods such as cakes, fudge, cheese slices, very cute. Entering Lush store is just like entering your local delicatessen, except that it smells strong perfume. I have never tried its products, but I think they are worth...
37 Reviews There is a famous saying that god created alcohol so that the Irish won’t take over the world. Indeed, some of the most popular sights in Ireland are alcohol-related such as Whiskey tasting or a visit to the Guinness storehouse. Lorcan (the guy who runs the 1916 rebellion walking tour) said that...
62 Reviews Use caution when you're withdrawing money from ATM machines. Crime, like any city is rampant in Dublin especailly when it comes to withdrawing money from cash machines. Make sure no one is peeping over your back or if you're in the middle of withdrawing cash don't fall for someone tapping you on the...
23 Reviews Nice area with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants but definitely aimed at tourists & hence pretty expensive. Go & see it but if you want souvenirs, food or drink there's plenty of other places to choose from!!! The side streets between Grafton Street and George's Street offer main smaller shops...
13 Reviews So before i visited the brewery i read lots of fellow VT'ers opinions on it. I have to say for the most part they were correct. Altough there were a few intresting things to see and you get a "free" pint of guinness, there is nothing great about this place. As you have undoubtable read it has not...
34 Reviews Irish weather is very changeable so you need to be prepared for all eventualities!!!! You can get all four seasons in one day at times ........ The easiest thing is to bring layers & include something waterproof!!! If you do get caught out in a shower in the city then a branch of Dunnes or Pennys...
26 Reviews Bring a Bag for shopping. They do not give out plastic bags, only paper. These will not hold up after a whole day of walking around. I would bring a cloth bag with handles, so that those souvenirs will find a comfy place. Temple Bar streets are not the cleanest, so shoes that can be cleaned in the...
35 Reviews I saw this place at all possible weather conditions. My favourite thing about it - well, there is a hill there which you have to climb. Once on top of it you can see the sea on one side, Dublin on the other and a golf course below you. Its really nice. Getting up there is a bit slippy, a bit up...
22 Reviews Glendalough is an amazing valley located in County Wicklow, Ireland, formed during the last ice age by a glacier. Today it is best known for its spectacular greenery and the renowned Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century. This place has magnificent views, fresh air and...
6 Reviews Glendalough means the valley of the two lakes and it‘s located in county Wicklow. It‘s an old monastic settlement in a spectacular location. Kevin buses stop for three hours there: wander around and explore the settlement: the old cemetery, the round tower and celtic crosses, and a little church...
30 Reviews Visit Howth Learn how to SAY 'Howth' like a local! Do the Guinness thing (and taste the black stuff!) Talk to locals. The Abbey Tavern is, of course, the main reason anyone who is a beer drinker visits Howth. It's easy to get to Howth - you can take the DART or a bus from Dublin City Centre. I...

I only had three and a half days to see Dublin, so it wouldn't be a stretch to call this a whirlwind tour of one of Europe's most vibrant cities. As I walked on the posh streets, passing stylish...

Great place - but not the real Ireland
