Long Weekend in Dublin

nooksky

Hi,
Wonder if anyone can help, me and my partner want to go away for a long week in Dublin.
Can anyone suggest the cheapest way to get there and any nice places to stay?
If anyone could help and places to go and visit that would be gr8.
Sorry if i have put in the wrong place.

Thanks

Have you tried the flight checker on this site ?

I just had a quick look and there are flights outward and inwards Sat and Sun with Ryanair from London...£9.99 each way.

Probably one of the budget airlines is your best bet for getting there.

Places to visit - Guinness factory, Trinity College (houses Book of Kells and other medieveal manuscripts), National Gallery of Ireland, National Museum of Ireland (has fantastic displays of Celtic metalwork, also a great Egyptian section), Christ Church and St Patrick's cathedrals. We visited the birthplace of Geroge Bernard Shaw the last time we were in Dublin (Victorian town house), which was very interesting. Have a picnic on St Stephens Green, go shopping in Grafton St (Brown Thomas is worth a visit, very elegant department store). Further out, Powerscourt House and gardens are lovely. You could always do a sightseeing bus tour of Dublin first to get your bearings. Take a look at the tourist board website for more ideas.

Enjoy!
