[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great idea. There's plenty to do just in Dublin if it comes down to it. [/quote]

Honest and ignorant question: what is there to do in Dublin besides see churches and pubs?[/quote]

Liberties is a fun neighborhood to walk around, with the Guinness Brewery at the end.

Beautiful parks in the city center, like St Stephens Green and Merrion Square Park, along with Phoenix Park (huge) more on the edge

Fun cute coastal towns for nice day trips on the train- Howth to the north, Bray to the south.

Plenty of famous/historical buildings that aren't churches- multiple castles (Dublin, Drimnagh, etc), Kilmainham Gaol (historic jail, now a museum about political prisoners)

It may not be "real Ireland" or some such, but certainly plenty to see and do if that's your thing.[/quote]

Adding the archaeological museum. Very well done and free. The Book of Kells, of course. The immigration museum is not as good but an interesting stop if you have time. See a match at Croke Park. Very convenient location in the city.

But agree with some PPs. Get out of Dublin if you can. Highly, highly recommend Brú na Bóinne, the archaeological site just an hour or so north of Dublin. Amazing site and presentation. You need to book a few weeks/months in advance.
