Local knowledge

What we'd tell you on day one

The stuff you only learn after you've walked it.

01

Avoid Temple Bar prices.

A pint in Temple Bar: €9. Same pint, two streets north: €5. Same Guinness. Look for "regulars only" looking pubs.

02

Trad sessions are free.

The Cobblestone in Smithfield, Devitts on Camden Street, O'Donoghues on Merrion Row. Walk in any night, order a pint, listen. No cover.

03

The DART is your friend.

The coastal train. Howth (north) for cliffs and seafood. Dún Laoghaire (south) for the pier walk and the People's Park. 25 minutes either way. €3 single.

04

Book Book of Kells online.

Walk-up queues at Trinity can be 90 minutes. Online tickets skip them entirely. The Long Room photographed best before 10am or after 4pm.

05

Best seasons: April–June, September.

Long evenings (sun till 22:00 in June). October is gold and quiet. December is cold but the Christmas markets in Dublin Castle are magic. Bring waterproof in any season.

Pubs: round up if it was good service. Restaurants: 10% if not on the bill. Cards take tips, cash appreciated.
