Reviews of Dublin from boo.com

Slaincete says: “ Quizas lo que mas destaque de Dublin son sus parques y el ambiente joven. Una ciudad encantadora, con edificios (para los que estamos acostumbrados a las grandes ciudades europeas) que no superan las 5 plantas en pleno centro y con un ambiente en la zona de pubs (Temple Bar) bastante fiestero.

“ Dublin is full of friendly young people. I'd definitely go back there as soon as I can. Everyone can find something there, even museums are fun - check Guinness and Old Jameson's. Going to a bar and listening to a local band are a must. I love Ireland! :)
