First time traveller...?

Question

Im going overseas for the first time ever hopefully around the end of the year (november). Im planning on heading to Ireland and have already looked into things to see and do etc. Im just wondering if anyone has ever been before? Is it expensive? How much do you think I would need to take for a 4 week stay?

Also, anything you would suggest seeing? Im going to be spending a few days in Dublin. Then travelling around and hopefully flying to London for a couple of days.

Thanks

Answer 1

hi you Ireland is costly but there is are good things to see and do here in the old sod as for how much you should bring here i could not honestly answer that but make sure you dont let yourself short or bring some cast and a credit card

Answer 2

Temple Bar is the best place to go out (night!)

Its the most expensive place in Dublin, but if you go during the week, there is often &quot;offers&quot; on drink...

For clubs/bars, id recommend.....

Dorans (GREAT live music and food)

If youre young (18-20) try Barcode (thursdays are cheapest btw!)

21&#039;s

Reds

The Viperoom

The Voodoo Lounge

Whelans

Theres alway great music in Tripod....it a lovely place too

(most places charge admission)

If you want a really &quot;irish&quot; pub....try Johnnie Fox&#039;s pub, in Glencullen on top of the Dublin mountains.....out if the way, but it is the highest pub in Ireland lol

Bars aside,

You can visit Dublin Castle

the Dublin Spire is on O&#039;Connells Street (extremely overated but very tall lol)

Depending what youre into, theres lot of museums and art galleries such as the National Gallery and the Irish Museum Of Modern Art.

there are some great bus tours (such as the &quot;Viking Tour&quot; or the &quot;ghost bus tour&quot;)

Phoenix Park - with the zoo! ;)

Grafton Street/Henry Street (for shopping!) - theres a cool vegetarian cafe called &quot;Nude&quot; near there too lol

If you want to go to a shopping centre, go to &quot;Dundrum Town Centre.

The whole country (espercially Dublin) is very expensive....if youre on a night out, youl will probably need at least 100 euro...

food and accomodation are expensive, taxis are outrageous (i advise you to brave the bus system (nightlink runs in the early hours!))

But most of the museums and galleries are free (or cheap)

Obviously it depends on how much you are willing to spend, but it not a cheap country by any means....if youre drinking in a club or something, the drinks are madly expensive so i advise you to sneak some vodka in with you....youll save money lol

Have a great holiday!!!!

Answer 3

Ireland has become very expensive, particularly Dublin. If you&#039;re going to London, you&#039;ll have to deal with the Pound Sterling as well - Ireland uses the Euro. I hear that London is currently even more expensive.

To get an idea of the cost of, say, eating in a restaurant, why don&#039;t you try googling one (restaurant+Dublin+Ireland) and do some sums? Right now petrol for using in the car is €1.20 per litre, and there are about 14-15 litres to a gallon. So it&#039;s pricey. However, it&#039;s the one thing in Ireland that&#039;s cheaper than in mainland Europe.

Answer 4

If we were you we&#039;d head straight to London
