Dublin

Ahhhh whaaatts the storrryyyy?
Yeah I'm from Dublin, there is a lot of cool shit to see in Dublin and the city itself is beautiful despite all the dirty skangers around the place. Do you have any particular interests?

Apart from all the obvious places, if your family has a sort of macabre sense of humor, go to the Museum of Natural History. It is an old-school dead stuffed animals in glass cases museum, the taxidermy is old and in many cases bad, and an unsettling number of the animals have been preserved for eternity with what seems to be a goofy grin on their face.

Known locally as the Dead Zoo, it is worth an hour or so.

Guinness factory is touristy but if you like their beer its kinda cool

Trinity college has a crazy old library and some other interesting stuff.

Ooh that’s so cool I love these kind of museums, I always spend hours in them drawing the animals

I think we’ll pass on the guinness factory (we’ve seen a lot of alcohol factories and it’s getting old)

But trinity college sounds fun!

There’s not really any story, we just tought "dublin seems cool"

Visited in 2004, the enduring memory I have is the blood, vomit & piss present outside every pub (all painted matte black) of a morning. That and there being small denomination euro coins everywhere on the ground. Other than that it was a decent place, not much in the way of cultural activities besides eating & drinking, I found the really cool shit to be out in the counties.

What's the story is like a greeting among Dubs, like saying "what's up"? What's the craic is another common one...

Rent a car and drive across to Galway and Clare and do the Wild Atlantic Way. Much better use of your time.

Though if there is a rugby game on in Dublin that weekend (Ireland take on NZ in November) there will be a great atmosphere around the city.

That was just Dublin, which I am assured has improved a lot in the last 12 years (though many more nogs & shitskins now, which sucks). Every other place was decent or ridiculously quaint. Galway had some of the best looking women I've laid eyes on, and lots of good pubs.

oh that's good to know haha

I'm not sure we have enough time to do the wild atlantic way, but we'll visit Galway!

aaand yet another reason to visit galway

do any of you guys know if the shops are open on sundays there?

Bumpety bump

>>1163248
They are

Bump for interest.

Bunch of guys going to Dublin for a few days in Oct. Youngish crowd (28-35), not so much into museums .

I get that you can spend some time in the pubs and stuff, what else do you do in Dublin? Couldn't find much to do in the city itself so thinking of spending half a day in Howth and one day in Glendalough/Kilkenny. Does that sound like a good plan?

This, fuck Dublin. Take a week vacation and drive down, it's so beautiful.

Guinness factory is ok, their rooftop bar is great for views of the city

Avoid the area around Temple Bar if you're going drinking, complete rip off.

>Guinness factory

It's called a "brewery" for God's sake.

Also Kilmainham Gaol for the history.

I'm sorry for bumping this which is possibly an old thread but I'm completely drunk at the moment ad I just bought a ticket t Dublin in november as well like OP something I may regret tomorrow

can youbsee Dublin in a day? I'm going yo be there for 3 days but I was wonderinh if I shuod visit other places in Ireland instead of staying 3 days in dublin

I hear the countryside is beautiful but is it doable to go visit some place around dublin and come back at night to sleep at the hostel. Also I'm going alone and I'vw never been out of my country shouod I be okay?
thanks and I'm sorry
