Dublin & Surrounds Suggested Trips

When you are in Dublin stay in busy areas unless you have somebody with you or know the area. If you need help just ask someone they are usually very helpful There are many ways to get around the city so if you missed your bus, train etc. don't worry you could hop on a Dart, Luas or even get a Taxi. No bother. Watch out for street performers on Grafton St. they are very good usually. Watch your bags on the Luas . Pickpockets usually take that form of transport because it is so cheap.

The opposite of Geneva: doesn't boast but is a beautiful little city. Plenty to do, I recommend the National Gallery and lunch at nearby Stephen's Green. You can always visit a pub, go to a movie or shop. Don't forget to look at the famous central post office where the 1916 Easter Rising took place. For history: see the cathedral (now Anglican) and the pro-cathedral (Catholic, still waiting to get the cathedral back). Also, Dublin is the place where Händel first performed his famous "Messiah" And don't forget the Newman University Chapel, as well as the Book of Kells at Trinity College!

If you want to go for a city break, Dublin is fine, but 2 days are enough to visit almost everything! The city is not huge. I enjoyed going for a pint in Temple bar (Quays Bar), with Irish music almost everyday!

Guiness brewry, good place to go, look out over the city whilst having a pint of the Balck Stuff, that i dont like but drank it anyways!

Thoroughly recommend: Guinness Factory Tour, Guide Friday open top double decker bus tour, Shopping district, Trinity College, pubs, plus so much more. Just go! But beware, it can get very expensive!
