On episode 37, Julie & Art take you to Dublin Ireland. We continue our overview of 10 things to do in this Irish capital city to help you get the most out of being Dublin Tourists.
Planning Your Dublin Itinerary
Dublin offers a tremendous amount of choices for tourists. The city has museums, shopping, entertainment, churches, access to nature, and yes, pubs. We do recommend planning one to two key things to do on your daily itinerary. No matter your interests, Dublin surely provides many choices to entice your curiosity.
Travel Resources
We consulted Frommer's Dublin Day By Day travel guide for identifying specific attractions to include during our trip. The book was helpful to identify walking tours, museums, as well as providing days and times that specific places are open to visit. We recommend purchasing a book similar to this one when planning a longer trip.
This Dublin guide provides 19 Self-guided Tours, 39 Maps, and several day trips. You'll also find recommendations on the best live music and top kid attractions in the city. It's a great resource to help you experience the best of Dublin in the smartest, most time-efficient way.
- The best of Dublin in one, two, or three days
- Thematic tours for every interest, schedule, and taste
- Hundreds of evocative photos
- Bulleted maps that show you how to go from place to place
- Hotels, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife for all budgets
- A tear-resistant foldout map-enclosed in a handy plastic wallet you can also use for tickets and souvenirs
