In Galway, we loved the restaurant Ruibin.

THIS. Howth is fantastic. So is the town of Dalkey (where Matt Damon got stranded during Covid). Both have cliff walks, great pubs & restaurants and are a very easy ride from Dublin. You don't need more than 3 days in Dublin really

The “very easy ride” may be tough as we don’t have a car.

Both are on the commuter rail on opposite sides of Dublin, maybe 30 minutes ride from central Dublin. It's called the DART train.

We’re going to be taking the train from Dublin to Galway for a few days, and then back to Dublin with a follow-on train ride one day to Belfast. I don’t want to be too trained out in this trip.

It’s a commuter light rail. It’s not a big train ride. Anyway, just some ideas for enjoying the beauty around Dublin.

DH is Irish and we have a place in Dublin. I haven’t heard of any of those restaurants. I’d take the dart to Dalkey and walk around and pick somewhere for dinner. You’ll find no shortage of great places.

In Belfast make sure you budget enough time for the titanic experience as it’s wonderful and very well done.

If you have time in Belfast there is a pub called Queens. Think it’s the oldest pub there and it has booths that have doors meant to give people from back in the day privacy.
