I am hoping that it doesn't rain much next week in Dublin so we can do some exploring.
We would like to see a show, any suggestions. Something Irish, of course.
Also would like a few suggestions for supper, restaurants, would be nice.
Is it worth taking the hop on hop off bus, to see and get to attractions?
Thank you
Maria
On our trip back in September 2018, I attended a performance at the Abbey Theatre, right downtown. There was a troupe from Galway performing there (Irish), and it was Shakespeare (so not Irish), but the current Druid piece looks interesting www.abbeytheatre.ie .
For Trad music, be sure to visit the Cobblestone Pub. We went there on a rainy afternoon, and it was magical.
We walked and used taxis, so I can’t offer experience with the HOHO buses. We prepared dinners at the apartment we’d rented, so while I have restaurant recommendations for other places in Ireland, none in Dublin.
In general, HOHO buses aren't a good way to get from place to place. They run infrequently, may be full, and take inefficient routes. If you want an overview of a big city, taking the HOHO all the way around its circuit can be worthwhile, especially with a good narration. But it will take some time -- you might consider it on your first day just to get the lay of the land. Dublin has a good tram system, and most of the sights are within walking distance of each other. (Kilmainham Gaol is an exception.)
Hello!
Just got back from Dublin.
Great experience. I walked and walked. So pretty. I took the public transport as well.
I did not walk around after sun set, and it was just fine.
Love Dublin, love the people and had a great time!!
Thanks for the help
Maria
