Welcome to Dublin!
Like me before my trip, you might be asking yourself “what’s the appeal outside of the bars and all that Guinness?”. well firstly, this is a young person’s city; Dublin’s boasts Europe’s youngest population, where some 50% of people living here are under the age of 25. So yes, bars, nightlife, parties and Guinness are popular, though definitely not exclusive to this demographic. And while Dublin certainly does dabauchery famously, it’s only when you visit this old and beautiful city that you really see how the Republic of Ireland’s capital is way more than hedonistic haven for hen do’s and lad’s weekends away. Just take a mosey down the cobbled streets and it’s like nothing has changed over the last hundred odd years. The greatest thing about my time Dublin was realising that this city is one with a rich and colourful history. There’s a banging food scene, and of course, there are plenty of things to see and do during your trip. Coming up, I’m gonna tell you about transport, money and some of my favorite things to do, but first, let’s take a look at getting here.
The airport is 10km outside Dublin and is the only international airport serving the city. From here, your choices for transport to the centre are bus or a taxi, as there’s no train station at the airport.
Dublin airport’s Aircoach will take you to various locations across the city, so make sure you know which stop is nearest your hotel.
Dublin is compact, which means if you’re staying in the city centre, you can pretty much walk to everything. However, if you want to get around quickly, hop on a tram. The Lewes is Dublin’s tram system; there are two lines, red and green. And the walk from the end of the green line to the red line is about 15 minutes. Don’t forget to always tap in and tap out, otherwise you’ll get charged the maximum possible fare.
If you plan on making multiple journeys, we recommend getting a Leap Card. It’s Dublin’s public transport top-up smart card and you can get them at the airport or at local shops, wherever you see the sign.
Dublin’s nightlife is legendary, and Temple Bar is the centre of it all. Yes, it’s where all the tourists go, but Temple Bar is packed with pubs, bars, live music and clubs. If you want to have a great night out in Dublin, this is where to go.
Written by Irish monks around 800AD, the Book is a decorated version of the Paul Gospels that’s kept at the centre of an exhibition in Trinity College. Just don’t expect a photo, as no cameras are allowed near the book, no even ours! However, our highlight has to be the Long Room, holding around 200,000 books, it’s a vast collection that seems to go on and on and on and on and on and on and on, forever.
Next is Kilmainham Gaol, a former Irish prison that held many of the revolutionaries of the past, in particular, the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. Abandoned in 1924 and restored in the 1960s, it now serves as a museum where you can learn all about the history of Irish independence. The gaol is 3 and a half kilometers out of the city centre, so you’ll need to get the Luas or the bus here. Tickets are available online, you book your timeslot and the website recommends arriving 15 minutes before your tour is due to start. Because the museum can only take a limited number of people at a time, booking ahead is the only way to guarantee entry on the day.

Excellent guide, I would add (as a Dub) that Temple bar is a tourist only zone. The locals drink elsewhere and prices reflect that.

[@easyenglish3141]

I've been here 4 times around Dublin, also in Wicklow Mountains, Greystones and Bray, amazing places!!

Amazing travel guide Dublin is wonderful

[@debihundley1727]

Very informative! I especially loved the map. : ) Thank you!

[@EuropeNordeste]

Your videos are great and made with excellence. I have been once to Dublin and loved it despite the rain.

[@HolidayExtrasTravelGuides]

Thank you so much

[@chloeharmer2403]

the poor still live on the north side and the rich still live on the south.. been living here for 16 years everything else about this guide is absolutely accurate.

[@garyshepherd9226]

Take the train out to Sandycove (beautiful journey along the strand) and visit the Martello tower and James Joyce museum - great view from the top. Then go to Fitz's pub on the way back to the station - one of the best pints of the black stuff in Dublin.

[@conormacnessa7723]

Temple bar is a total RIP off. Nearly 2 x the price of elsewhere. 6.50 a pint minimum. Around the corner 5.0. Out of Dublin 4.50

[@SM_zzz]

Don't forget to visit Fun Place beside the Gaiety Theatre! You can try on costumes, wigs, masks, whatever you like! You can take photos and have the craic in there and make it an enjoyable experience, even if you don't buy anything!

[@stargazer2756]

Hi

[@cph2004]

I've just visited Dublin, and I got scammed outside of the Guinness storehouse. Me and my family saw the sign for a ride on the horse and cart for 4 of us. The sign said €30 to the temple bar. When we got off, I gave the guy €30 and he said it's €30 each €120 for a 10 minute ride. Be aware. Make sure you ask first, is it for each person, or just don't go on.

[@Skater21Loverboyz]

Is it okay to wear backpacks into establishments (restaurants, cafes, museums, the like) ? I'm carrying camera gear in one (weight distribution), but I am nervous that I'd be rejected from some places because of the backpack!

[@toniyozwiak5858]

Hello..In June I will visit Ireland for the first time, I would like to know of a central area to stay where I will be close to fine dining, cafes, bars, and transportation. Thank you

[@JOANNED83]

Try to stay as close to Dublin City centre like Dublin 1 or Dublin 2. (there are 24 postcodes) It maybe more pricy if you do. Dublin has a bus, train and luas service if you can't stay central. Temple bar is incredibly over priced, shop around 😉 there is way more to Dublin than Temple Bar, there are red bus tours to see sights and the green tourists bus will bring you to the beaches. I hope you have a great time ☘️

7:47 What does this guy mean when saying Dublin is "still pricier than the rest of the UK" ? Is Paris pricier than the rest of Germany, Tokyo pricier than the rest of China, Mexico City pricier than the rest of the USA ?

[@Mr71Bernard]

He's from the UK. Part of the island of Ireland is still part of the UK. In saying Dublin is pricier than the rest of the UK he's simply comparing it to the rest of the British Isles. And yes, before you whinge, we all know its a different country.

[@avegromek]

Dublin guide for turists from my perspective (10 years immigrant) 1. It is expensive 2. Public transport sucks 3. Weird, funny english accent 4. Night life 5. Some areas better to avoid 6. Irish are very friendly and funny 7. Weather sucks

[@maxcody5040]

To all those who plan on travelling to Dublin, don't drink in Temple Bar or just one at the most. You're going to be ripped off beyond belief. Walk through it, have a look in but head to bars elsewhere

[@marky1974]

I would avoid temple bar..nicer bars between grafton street and georges street...also the north inner city can be dodgey..lot of druggies and assorted dodgey characters!

[@erik_carter_art]

You're such a cutie patootie! ^_^
