Dublin in General Reviews

So a few months ago me and my girlfriend managed to bag some 1p flights to Dublin with Ryanair. Great we thought! You seem to hear so much about the place; amazing nightlife, Guiness...um. Did I mentioned the nightlife!? So we did actually start to wonder what Dublin did have to offer other than Guiness and nightlife and ...  Read the complete review

I visited Dublin for four days in April. We arrived at Dublin airport in the very early hours of the morning, and a minibus from our hostel came and picked us up. The driver was lovely and pointed out many of the sights along the way to our hostel. The hostel was just fantastic, it was brilliant! It was called Paddys Palace and they ...  Read the complete review

We visited Dublin last weekend on a cheap 'wonky weekend' - as Martin Lewis calls them. We had a fantastic time and some great experiences, some of which I have already reviewed but here is my run down of Dublin in general on a budget. Costs are approximate as some are in euros some pounds (not much difference at the mo!) Getting ...  Read the complete review

Dublin is a lovely place, only a couple of hours away from where I live and yet I feel I don't go there enough. Perhaps that's a good thing in a way, when I do go I always enjoy the atmosphere. A beautiful Georgian city, the terraces of Georgian houses are so elegant, such a shame that so many were lost to developers over the years. ...  Read the complete review

In November 2004, I took my second trip to Dublin. I hadn't been since I was 12 years old when I visited the city as part of a school trip to Ireland. My memories were somewhat faded. All that I could remember was a trip to the Guinness Brewery and the teachers enjoying a free sample while we drank orange juice. My husband managed to book us on a ...  Read the complete review

I recently visited Dublin with my mum and dad. We had a great time as it is a lovely city and their is plenty to do. We watched Riverdance which was excellent and spent days shopping. When we decided to arrange a trip to Dublin we were told about the lovely towns and villages around the edge of Dublin and by the coast. To visit these ...  Read the complete review

I just don’t get it! Dooyoo-ers are normally spot on, but this time, with the exception of the truthful, if overly kind, “When Irish Eyes are smiling… they’re looking at the till”, it appears that Dublin is THE place to be. I found that, simply, it wasn’t. Maybe I’m going to be a bit harsh in this review; I certainly intend to be. ...  Read the complete review

I used to love Dublin but something rotten is slowly working it's way through the city turning it into a nasty cesspool. I think the famous Celtic Tiger has finally decided to chew up and spit out the Dublin of old. Of course the guidebook/tourist/historic version of Dublin is still there somewhere, buried deep beneath the smog and grime ...  Read the complete review

Dublin, the city of craic, cabbages and churches. With a history going back a few thousand years, but also regarded as a major metropolitan European city it has many different faces. Right then, there's the travel brochure splurge but does Dublin deserve the reputation it has? ME and the other half flew over to Dublin last Monday ...  Read the complete review

My husband has lived in Dublin for the past year because of his job, so I have become familiar with this Fair City. I fell in love with Dublin as soon as I got off the plane....the people are genuinely friendly and hospitable and will go out of there way to help you....and if they ask you to tea never say no as it offends. If you ...  Read the complete review

Forget Paris! In the future whenever I want a romantic weekend away with my lover it's going to be in one of the romantic and accessible capitals of Europe. It must be the place where cosmopolitan bustle meets laid back easy living; where years of history rise up and meet minimalist modernism and where standing on a small bridge, watching the ...  Read the complete review

I visited Dublin earlier this year and I have done once before (in the dark and distant past) and, like all other cities, this one has its good and bad points. In fact, some are a bit of both! For example, Dublin is literally crawling with pubs – for a great selection visit Temple Bar (the nightlife capital of Ireland), which is ...  Read the complete review

Top of the morning to ya! As an Irishman I know all that's worth knowing about the emerald isle and all the shenanigans that goes on there. I know there have been plenty of reviews by foreigners about my good country, but they can only give you a tourists view. The real Ireland lies beneath the shiny gloss and corporate lies. I'm here to ...  Read the complete review

Tourism in Ireland is built around historical culture. You can visit museums, monuments and other landmarks and ancient treasures.Most guys, when staying in a city for a few days, want one thing. To get laid. Dublin is no exception. After possibly sight-seeing around Grafton Street for a few hours during the day, (lunch hour is when they all come ...  Read the complete review

I've always wanted to visit Ireland, I must have some Irish blood in me somewhere as I love the music (traditional and new) and have some affiliation with the country. So when I heard that a group (about 7) of different work collogues were going over to the Emerald Isle for a long weekend I decided to jump on board when asked. ...  Read the complete review

Dublin happy hours have always been something of a contradiction in terms. Whereas other Irish and British cities would tempt students and alcoholics into daytime boozing with practical giveaways (of the 80p a pint variety), Dublin publicans have never really felt obliged to pack’em in in the dead hours of the late afternoon, probably ...  Read the complete review

I live in Dublin. It's a great place to be! Having lived most of my life in the daunting massiveness of London's hectic city, my family decided to move to Dublin. Dublin is a pleasant oasis of charm and peacefulness. A walk down any Dublin city street is enough to give you cultural indigestion! From Buskers to painters, poets to ...  Read the complete review

... unless of course you live there or something. For those of us who have never been, or went many moons ago, modern Dublin comes as a bit of a shock. And for that reason, I begin with a disclamer: it's about 18 months since I visited Dublin and this is a very fast changing city, so some things may by now be completely different. Having said ...  Read the complete review

I recently survived my first aeroplane flight would you believe, and luckily it was just a short hop to Dublin for a few days. I couldn’t help but watch the ever-changing wing shape with intensity throughout the flight. After a quick pop above the clouds we touched down at Dublin International Airport. First impression of the city, ...  Read the complete review

I have just returned from a weekend break in Dublin and have to say it was thoroughly enjoyable. The people were friendly, there was lot's to see and do and I had great fun. I liked the fact that Dublin is small enough to get everything done in a weekend. I would recommend the cream and green buses. The day hopper ticket was only 7 ...  Read the complete review
