Answer 4

If you feel slightly energetic (burn off those Guinnesses), please read my "Hidden Dublin by foot" guide. It offers an alternative tourist trail (although includes some well-known features) and provides a look at Dublin by a native. Many Dubs do not know about the medieval remains of Isolde's Tower in Temple Bar, for example, and another important cultural site is Fishamble Street where Handel's "Messiah" was first performed.

The site might give you more ideas and everyone is most welcome to ask and suggest ideas (through the "contacts" page).

Answer 5

Get on the Lonely Planet web site for everything Dublin.  Guiness brewery is class. A pub called The Barge is superb - you could spend all day eating and drinking!  The centre is splendid for just mooching about. Enjoy!
