Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Dublin
Temple Bar pubs are expensive and touristy. For authentic Irish pub experience and cheaper pints, walk 10 minutes to Stoneybatter, Portobello, or The Liberties.
Book Book of Kells tickets online in advance - queues can be 2+ hours. Free entry to many museums including National Gallery, National Museum, and Chester Beatty Library.
Weather changes quickly - always carry a light rain jacket. Even in summer, temperatures rarely exceed 20°C. Layer clothing and expect rain any time.
Guinness Storehouse is Dublin's #1 attraction but pricey (€26+). Alternative: free Guinness tasting at any proper pub, or visit smaller craft breweries like Rascals.
Early bird dinner specials (17:00-19:00) offer 3 courses for €20-30 - great value! Many restaurants near Grafton Street and Merrion Square offer these deals.
