Trip to Ireland: 2 days in Dublin
At the beginning of October 2013 we were traveling in Ireland, between Dublin and Galway.
For the first stay Irish from Thibault I had prepared him a rather nice program: a 2-day tour of Dublin and road trip in the West of Ireland!
To get to Dublin we had taken a flight with Ryanair from Nice, which, as I recall, cost us 65€ round trip by person, which is quite correct 🙂

The first 2 days we visited Dublin from end to end and across!
The visit is underway!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight !
Upon arrival at Dublin Airport, we took the shuttle that takes us to the city center in 30 minutes. 10€ round trip.
The shuttle dropped us off next to Trinity College, then we crossed the main street, Grafton Street, to reach our hotel, not far from St Stephen's Green Park.

In the afternoon we had taken the City Sightseeing bus (18€) so that Thibault could find his way around the city quickly. I have always been critical of these bus companies, Who knows why? ? I thought it was much better to get out of the usual routine, discover the city on foot or by bike. But during my last trip, trip to Milan We thought why not try!?!?
Finally I advise you Taking this tour is quick, it’s explained in French and it will allow you to discover or rediscover the city. These buses exist all over the world; for comparison, in Dublin the price was 18€, in Milan 20€, but I checked for New York; the price is 40€; there is certainly more to see, but I’m not sure I’d spend 40€ on this tour…

And then I couldn’t go to Dublin without stopping by Penneys (aka Primark). That’s the blonde minute. (For girls, Primark arrives in Marseille on December 16, 2013 !!!)
In the evening I made them discover Temple Bar à Thibault. We went from pub to pub, from concert to concert…
For dining, here is a very good address: The Farrington’s. On the menu: Beef Pie, Chicken Pie, Fish & Chips and other Irish specialties. The must-try: the’Apple Pie …
Puree and chicken pie
We also ate at Eddi Rocket’s on O’connel Street. Wonderful burgers and Cheese Fries!
And finally: a few photos of our iPhones…

Thanks for your information, we are leaving for Ireland at the end of the month for a week and will spend 2 days in Dublin.
Very nice ^^ I’ve never been to Dublin before, but all your photos really capture the atmosphere of those streets; it makes you want to go for a walk there. Moreover, this isn’t the only article about Ireland I’ve been reading these days 😉

Hello
I plan to leave for Dublin on November 11th. Is it too cold at this time of year or can we still visit the city?
