Question

I'm going to Ireland in Jan., any good places to see in Dublin?

Answer 1

The best way to see the city is on one of the open air bus tours.  They'll take you around and share all the history.

Make sure you get a picture of the most photo-graphed door in Dublin!  8-)

It's a wonderful city.  Most any pub is a grand time.

And don't forget to see the Guiness Brewery.

Answer 2

have a brake have a dor shoved in your face!

Answer 3

I have a much better idea: Go to Cork or Galway.

Answer 4

yes the 2 penny bridge, the ccoclored doors on the homes near the park, the catherdral, the libary at trinity college is famous for the book of names,the brewery tours

Answer 5

If your like me and hate beer dont bother with the Guinness Factory. It is a self guided tour and you keep asking yourself what the items on display are all about.?The only highlight is the complimentary stout at the end and the view of the city. Not worth the 14 euro at all.

I recommend seeing

Temple Bar district for partying (free)

The Spire for modern architecture (free)

The Book of Kells @Trinity College for ancient artifacts (about 10 euro)

National Museum for Viking history (free)

Town of Howth 20-30 mins north of Dublin on the train (Dart) for beach side fish and chips (free)

St Stephens Green for a relaxing walk (free)

Grafton Street for shopping and Buskers (free)

The Celt bar in Talbot street for the best live traditional music from 9.30pm every night. (free + 4.80 for a pint)

Deadly!
