Hi, another Dub here, you'll have a ball, just don't expect the sun! And yes the Guinness factory is deadly, and although I'm not a drinker off it, the pints there are yummy - really ! Top tip is to book ur tickets for it online ( u can do that even when u hey here ) this means you can skip the q and go straight in. As it's summer you can q over 30mins outside.

I hope so

Just maybe like a nice Italian or something like that.. Can't go wrong with Italian! Just basically going to do some shopping, go to a couple of nice restaurants Friday night and Saturday.. Probably hit the bars etc on Friday night .. Don't really know what other attractions are worth a visit other then the factory!

I'm from Dublin too... you will have a great time, loads of shops and restaurants and of course pubs!

I like Little Caesars Italian ... it's right across from the Westbury Hotel, so it's just off Grafton Street, which is the place to be when it comes to the shops. Look out for the flower sellers on Grafton street and it's just behind them.

You should do the viking splash while you're there for the laugh... it's great fun and you'll get to see some of the city too.

Viking Splash Tours - Dublin Sightseeing Tours

Have fun!

You'll have a brilliant time, Dublin is a great place to visit and the people are amazing.

Take plenty of spending money though! Think London prices and then some.

Enjoy! :biggrin:

You will love it! And house wine is absolutely beautiful! We arranged a few parties in there, the bill has never been high, service is always top class and candle lit walls just make it so cozy and relaxing! I love that place and could ramble on and on and on about it, but i will stop now
