And don't try to impress them with a fake Irish accent. It doesn't.

There is a street called Capel Street where locals go lovely creamy pints not at the tourist prices. Us Irish are more than willing to help you with directions and places to go.

DONT CALL YOURSELF A TRAVELLER IN DUBLIN BECAUSE ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS

Top tip dont drink in Temple Bar full stop. Lots of cheaper pubs with better craic within 5 minutes walk of the place

#1 rule don’t call us English or British

[Lizzardvoldemort]

as someone from Dublin, I can guarantee you Temple Bar is not the only place to drink, locals avoid it like the plague you will rarely see Dubliners there, hit up places like the Bernard Shaw, Camden and Georges street for pints, and make sure to keep in mind that in Trinity College there are still thousands of students around, especially during exam season so be diligent! Also the 757 bus from the airport is the best way to do it!

Absolutely go to Howth. Well worth the trip. Also, if you're not a US citizen and you're going to the US after Europe, make Ireland youre LAST stop in Europe, as it's the only country in Europe which has US preclearance for immigration, meaning if you're gonna be refused entry, you'll be refused before getting on your flight, not after.

I’m from Dublin, and I’d advice tourists to be careful when they are in the city centre, there can be not so nice people around there. Also suburb areas like Rathfarnham have great parks and it is steeped in history.

I did my Masters in Irish history back in the 70’’s at University College Dublin. The manuscript I was working on was at Trinity. Back then, the library was usually empty, except during the summer. Before going into the rare book room, I’d stop and take a look at the book of Kells. They turned the page daily, so, over the years I worked there I saw the whole, incredible manuscript.

1. Don't put on a fake Irish accent, talk about leprechauns or tell us you're Irish because your granny's mother's aunt was Irish.
2. Don't panic if you get lost, we will stop and help you.
3. Avoid temple bar like the plague, no self respecting Irish person drinks there so you'll be paying for terrible and over priced pints there.
4. The quays and bachelors walk are beautiful but don't be around them at night. We have a serious homelessness crisis and a drug issue in Ireland and it can be seen strongly along the quays in Dublin.
4. Don't expect to get away without getting a bit of slagging. It's just a little harmless joking. We mean no harm.

don't tell them your childhood hero is Oliver Cromwell

Just got home from a trip to Dublin and I LOVE IT ! love love love it ! The people are amazing ! The cab drivers are incredible, the scenery, the streets the sights 😩 omg I want to go back so bad

[The_Fuzz]

We took a day trip to Malahide and Howth. They are both fantastic places.

[troberts]

Another one of the don'ts for Dublin are don't forget to visit the National museum in Kildare st, in particular. If you want to get a real sense of Ireland and the ancient history you have got to visit it. Personally, I would put the National museum ahead of The book of Kells in trinity college and another great aspect to visiting the National museum is that it's FREE OF CHARGE.

For quieter (and cheaper) accommodations, don't forget to consider taking the light rail either northeast or southeast and getting a place near the end of the line. To get back downtown is cheap and easy, but then you are staying in a real neighborhood and not the tourist crush.

[SgtDuster]

Walk, walk and walk.

Dublin is a compact city, easy to walk around and there nice things to see around every corners.

[daverose]

As someone who is visiting Dublin for the first time soon, i am glad for this video. Thank you for putting this one up before I went to Dublin

[marytohill]

Don't tell us about how your great, great, great grandfather's cousin twice removed was originally from Ireland and how that makes you Irish! Or even, worse tell us their name and ask us if we know them!

[khorn]

make sure you buy yokes off anto 3 for 15 euro absolute bargain

I’m from Dublin, and love your videos on Ireland, my little country always comes across so well !

If you really want to get out of the city, jump on the bus and go to Swords (right beside the airport and about 30/40 mins from the city depending on traffic) it’s a quite town, built around a Castle (which a lot of people find amazing that it’s just there at the bottom of the Main Street) plenty of pubs and restaurants, a shopping centre, movie theatre and about 15/20 mins from Malahide which is on the coast with beautiful walkways.
