Reviews of Dublin from boo.com

    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.

    I've been away from Dublin for a while but it's great to be back. Now is a great time to visit Dublin as everything has been cut in price. Funny local website to get you in the mood is called Hidden Dublin

    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! :)
