Lonely Planet Dublin city guide
Find your perfect Dublin pub, see the Book of Kells at Trinity College library, and explore the city’s foodie scene; all with your trusted travel companion.
Lonely Planet writer Fionn Davenport describes why he loves Dublin. "At Dublin airport I get into a taxi. Within 10 minutes the driver and I know everything about each other. Where we were born, where we grew up, which football team we support. He gives me his potted view of why Irish politics is a waste of space, and I tell him what I liked about whatever destination I've just been to. That's Dublin for you, a city that dispenses with formalities and gets down to the nitty-gritty of every day existence. We may never see each other again, but in that moment we are friends."
