What a place to visit, so much to see and organise so that you make the best of your allocated time. In the two days, we managed Dublin Castle, Book of Kells, an Irish Entertainment night, Ireland v Japan in the Rugby and the EPIC centre.

Dublin is entirely walkable with transportation systems to support travel to all major cities, towns and Dublin’s seaside villages. Howth was 25 minutes train ride away for 5.2 euro Round trip. The Dublin Express airport shuttle is readily available and inexpensive. My goal was to not rent a car and it worked for four weeks at a very reasonable cost as a solo traveler. I went to Nenagh, Ennis, Cliffs of Moher, Galway, Aran Islands and back.

Dublin is a great shopping city and there are plenty of lovely areas to walk around and browse. We were at an Ireland rugby match at the Aviva which is always a great experience. Excellent Japanese restaurants with fantastic food.

Walking in Dublin is brilliant... O,Connel Street, Temple Bar, Trinity Collegeandalong theLiffey to Pheonix Park. Take in the Guinness Storeroom, the Book of Kells and the Rock and Roll Museum shouldnt be missed...theyare exceptional. A sail on the river is interesting and relaxing lots of good eating places... If very expensive with the exception of the CHines Buffet half way up O,Connell Street. Walk to Grafton Street ... Good shops,buskers and the beauttiful Bewleys Coffee Shop. Walk on to relax in St. Stephens Green... lovely park. Go and sing with Molly Malone.

Dublin's a nice place, but loud music, flippant service and homeless people sleeping everywhere spoil it. When you are served by Dubliners, ie Irish people, you will have, generally, more friendly service.

Vibrant city with so much character and many interesting attractions. Great to explore on foot or via reliable public transit. It can get expensive, especially in the tourist areas, so budget conscious travellers may.want to engage locals for “off the beaten path” suggestions. Try a pint and a pie at Ginger Man tavern, or stumble into any of the oodles of friendly pubs across the city
