Dublin
Ireland
Literary pubs, Celtic heritage, and the friendliest locals in Europe
About Dublin
Dublin is a city of stories — told over pints of Guinness in centuries-old pubs, in the pages of Joyce and Wilde, and in the music that spills out of every bar on Temple Bar. The craic (fun) is real, and the welcome is legendary.

Travel Tips for Dublin
Irish weather is unpredictable — always carry a rain jacket, even in summer.
The DART coastal train is a scenic and affordable way to explore the coast.
Tipping 10-15% is standard at sit-down restaurants but not expected at pubs.
Avoid Temple Bar for food and drinks — it's overpriced. Walk two blocks for better value.
