TRAVEL : DUBLIN
Before arriving in Dublin, we need to get some advices for tourists. Here is an article which can help
us to enjoy our stay.
DUBLIN
1. Eating out
If you enjoy the friendly atmosphere of pubs, you could have lunch in one. Most pubs serve
food at lunchtime and into the early evening. This is an inexpensive way to eat out, and the
quality of the food is often quite good.
When pressed for time, you may well be tempted to enter a fast-food restaurant. No
problem. There are many well-known brands names like McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC etc…
But you should also try fast food with an Irish twist: you will love the local sandwiches,
salads, soups, fish and chips…
2. Best times to visit Dublin
The best time to visit Dublin is in the summertime when temperatures are warm (for Ireland)
and festivals fill the streets. This is also the most expensive time to visit, with high hotels
rates and airfare prices. It’s also the most crowded time of the year. If you’re looking for a
better price and fewer tourists, come in winter with your heaviest coat. Spring and autumn
are the happy medium: moderate temperatures (again, for Ireland), crowds and prices.
3. How to save money in Dublin
Visit the free attractions: a number of attractions (the National Gallery, the Museum of
Modern Art, the Prison of Kilmainham) are absolutely free.
Just say no: taxis are expensive. Instead of handing out your euros, rely on your own two feet
or take the bus.
4. Best things to do in Dublin
Dublin is one of the most walkable cities in Europe. Start in the north at Phoenix Park and
head south to the river Liffey. Stroll along the famous Ha’Penny Bridge. Then, find your way
to the medieval streets of Temple Bar. Pause for a drink before heading to the Trinity College
Campus. Shop along the Grafton Street before relaxing on the peaceful St Stephen’s Green.
From there, visitors who enjoy a drop of beer or whiskey can tour the Guinness Storehouse
or the Old Jameson Distillery.
