Off to Dublin, any moneysaving offers????

silkyuk9

Hello, im off to Dublin next Tuesday for 3 days with the other half.

We are only going because we got really cheap flights and this is not a money spending exercise!!

anyway, as we are not going with kids etc we are just going to have a look around and have a few days out.

Im looking for anything that will save us a few quid like 2 for 1 pizza hut or any other half price vouchers we can use whilst away.

Anyone know of any money saving ideas etc for our few days away.

If you are like me and have a 3 mobile broadband dongle you can use it in Ireland on three's "Like Home" offer - shame they dont do the same in spain or holland :-( oh and travelodge are doing rooms for 39 euros

There is a tourist bus that has a circular route around the city, we found it worthwhile getting a ticket for that, it lasts 24 hours and you can get on and off at will. It was also cheaper if you bought it in advance.

Go to the tourist information in Dublin and ask in there. They're very helpful. Would recommend the ghost bus tour if it's your kind of thing. Also right by the TI is a great pub. O Neils in Suffolk Street. Carvery is WONDERFUL! Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link, but you can google it.
Have a great holiday.

Dublin is so dear, i just live 1 hours from there, though im in NI, you have got to do the hop on bus, and go to Temple Bar, it is really dear to go for a drink there, but even if you just had a walk around and soak up the atmosphere, its buzzing, though maybe not just as lively during the week, u will have a ball though,

yea true true. like 7euro for a spirit n mixer. 25 for a bottle of wine... and the jokes with the wine by the glass is that its 175ml (in its own mini bottle) and u pay like 6 euro!!! for small!!! u dont get large... just small or full bottle...

its gettin worse. but peeps still spend like its all loose change!

the only think thats expensive but worth it is the airlink 748 bus to centre as its 20 mins max (even in rush traffic).
