Answer 1

The liffy, the prison, the guinness factory.

There will be lots of tourist information when you get there, my Uncle lives in Dublin, it's beautiful :)

Check if the hotel has a website, they might have some information.

Or simply google dublins tourist attractions.

Have fun, i'm hoping to go back this year!

In city centre: Chester Beatty Library, National Gallery, National Museum (Kildare Street). If you like Guinness, visit the brewery. Temple Bar is ok but very touristy. There are a good few bars/clubs on Harcourt Street, Camden and Wicklow Streets. The Arlington on Bachelor's Walk is good craic.

Take the red LUAS (light rail) line to Collins Barrack's Museum and Kilmainham Gaol. Take the Green LUAS out to the Dundrum shopping centre. Take the DART (coastal train) and stop off along the way-I like Howth, Killiney, Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey and Bray.

It would be a pity not to take a day trip from the main bus depot to Newgrange. Take bus trips to the Powerscourt Gardens and Glendalough in Wicklow from the city centre.

Dublin is quite a compact city and with a such a good base just off Grafton Street you should easily be able to walk to most of the city's attractions.

Grafton Street is one of Dublin's pedestrianised shopping streets and at the top of it you'll find St. Stephen's Green - a lovely inner city park. Merrion Square is a short walk from St. Stephen's Green and is home to top attractions like the National Library, the Natural History Museum, the National Gallery and the Government buildings.

At the bottom end of Grafton Steet you'll find Trinity College - home of the famous Book of Kells - which is the oldest manuscript in the world!

You should also explore Temple Bar - the city's cultural and nightlife hotspot! This place is buzzing in the evenings and its cobbled streets are brimming with pubs, nightclubs and restaurants.

Closeby Temple Bar is the Christchurch area - also known as the Viking/Medieval area which is said to be the oldest part of the city. Here you can visit Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin Castle, the City Hall, St.Audoen's Gate and the Old City Walls.

You'll have to cross over O'Connell Bridge to get to O'Connell Street - Dublin's main street. Here you can see the GPO and the 'Spire'. Take a stroll down Moore Street for a real Dublin experience.

For attractions like the Old Jameson Distillery, the Chimney Viewing Tower, the National Museum Collins Barracks, Phoenix Park, Dublin Zoo, the Guiness Brewery and Kilmainham Goal take the Red Luas Line from the 'Abbey Street' stop just off O'Connell Street.

Use the DART train to visit Malahide Castle and the coastal towns of Kiliney, Dalkey and Dun Laoghaire.
