Don't forget to visit some of the rest of the country. Dublin is a bit of an entity all by itself. If you've come that far you might as well tour...
Galway, Kilkenny, Cork... are much better cities to visit, IMO and offer much more in terms of an authentic Irish experience. And they are easy to reach via bus/train and have better beer and pubs (esp. Cork for beer).
You forgot the most important one!!!
heck - even the cheesy castle/pub outside of Shannon (I forget the name).
Ahh yes! Now I remember. It was fun because we did it the night before leaving Shannon. The castle is Bunratty Castle, and the pub is Durty Nelly's if I remember correctly. The pub was less cheesy than the castle at least...That'd be Bunratty Folk Park...
And here's that breakfast I was talking about:
Man, now I wanna go back....
ah i the irish fry... it sticks with you that is for damn sure.
Sorry to hijack, but I am heading to Dublin next month. It is a "no plans" trip. We fly to Dublin, then fly out of Shannon 8 nights later. Anything else we should not miss? We are most likely just sticking to the southern half.
My girlfriend and I are flying out to Dublin this Saturday to hang out there during St Patrick's.
But you do get tired of the traditional breakfast's, alot of fried foods too.
