Dublin is great! Dublin is great! Dublin is great! And did I mention that Dublin is great?
I didn't know what to expect before I went there. People told me that it was mainly a big city, not really beautiful, but that the pubs are nice.
And indeed, Dublin is not the most beautiful city I saw, but thanks to the wonderful people I met, Guinness, long walks along the Liffey and the atmosphere that reigns over the city, Dublin turned out to be one of my favourite cities! Can I go back please?
And back I went indeed! In July 2005, I spent a couple of days in Dublin with some friends. And I even felt more in love with the Irish culture/mentality!
January 2006: Dublin again indeed! Seems like every year, I need to have my Dublin-shot :-) Thanks to Fergal (VT-member horseskoby) I discovered some other nice traditional pubs.
June 2009: Guess what? Yes, I'm coming back! Before heading of off to Galway, I'll spend another 24 hours in Dublin!
- Pros:amazing people, Dublin's history and culture, pubs
- Cons:expensive! and not much for sight-seeing
- In a nutshell:a city of atmospheres!

I love Dublin too and I love your choice of photo for the main page heading. We were there for almost 2 weeks on and off in November. I visited the smallest pub with IrishFern and The Church restaurant with Annemariebyrne. and a VT meet with BillNJ
This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest traditional music pub in Dublin. No other pub comes near it. It is nothing like those ridiculous tourist pubs. There are usually 2 seisiúin every night. Expect great music, not state of the art comfort.
great tips!
I can't agree more with you about Dublin, its got that extra special, its the people that make it so. Have enjoyed visiting your pages this morning. Greetings from West Cork!
Nice Dublin pages
Greetings from Ireland. Love your Dublin pages. If you take a look at my VT pages you will catch a glimpse of the North. It might surprise you! Best wishes. ronaldbarr
Great Dublin page Els....I am flying off to the Emerald Isles tomorrow... can't wait!!!
