Walking is the best way to get through this city

You should never take the Dart (sort of metro) at rush hour, for you will be packed like sardines in there! The transit system in Dublin is actually backward! It is a very nice city though! Apart from the city centre, you should definitely take the Dart (not at rush hour) to Bray and walk up the hill to have an extremely beautiful view... Lots of nice places in the city centre too, but you will find them anyhow as you're walking the streets...

One of the most beautifull places to visit. Fun and security is all over. So come and enjoy this place you and your family.

All buskers are nice people, if youre lost ask them; not passers by- nobody knows where anything is.

Gardaí are hopeless and are not going to help you in any way.

I live only an hour away from Dublin. I'm not a Dubliner but I can tell you that it is a city of culture. They are mixed nationalities living in Ireland, stretching all the way to Galway on the opposite coast. In Dublin itself, there are many museums and attractions for the avid traveller to visit. There's the Phoenix Park, just outside the city which hosts Dublin Zoo. There's the spire in the middle of O' Connell Street. Ireland was home to many famous writers and there are museums dedicated to them as well as many art galleries to suit everybody's taste. There is also the Viking Splash Tour which takes you through the streets of Dublin before bringing you onto the River Liffey itself for a nautical view of the city. There are many suburbs with their own attractions etc. There are many good quality restaurants, hotels and BBs. You could get lost in this city if you really wanted to. Everyone will recommend something different but it is worth at least one visit. It has a good transport system including buses, trains, city bus tours, the LUAS (light-rail system), Dublin Harbour and Dun Laoghaire Harbour. The only thing I will say that counts against it are the locals, at time they can be rude and unpleasant, and with the Euro buying things or staying somewhere can be quite expensive so look out for good deals and take them where you find them. They are few and far between. Dublin is famous for its nightlife so you will always find a pub/nightclub to suit your taste. Always travel in a group and stay in crowded, well-lit areas and keep moving: pick-pockets are rife in the city so beware!

Don't use car in Dublin! Use busses instead - they can move more quickly due to special bus lanes :)

In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty, the post boxes are green, and on the roads at junctions it says 'yield' instead of 'stop', in fact the latter is a general thing on the roads in Eire.

Travel from Dublin to nearby towns like Howth, Brey, Greystones by DART railway.
