Vibrant and compact, Dublin has a pace and energy rather at odds with the image of Ireland as a whole. In recent years it has become an immensely popular weekend break destination, best known for its innumerable bars and pubs, and its buzzing nightlife: you'll find plenty of opportunity to enjoy a glass of Guinness and participate in the "craic" at one of the many live music venues. With the Rough Guide in your pocket, you can also make several easy day trips out of the city, from the Wicklow Mountains to the splendid gardens of Powerscourt Estate, while detailed listings cover the best places to stay, eat and shop, whatever your budget.

WHEN TO VISIT
Dublin's warmest months are usually July and August, which are also often the wettest. However, no month is especially hot or cold, and though the climate of Ireland is often damp, this shouldn't be a determining factor in arranging your trip. Obviously the summer is the most popular time, so if you're planning a visit then, you should make sure you've got your accommodation sorted out well before you go - and whatever time you visit, if your stay is going to straddle a weekend, book your room in advance. Before making your decision, you should take a look at the city's calendar of festivals and special events, which range from the parades of St Patrick's Day and the meanderings of Bloomsday (June 16) to blues in Temple Bar in July and the All-Ireland Hurling final in September (see Sports, and Festivals & Events for more).

Best Dublin Guide Yet,
This review is from: The Mini Rough Guide to Dublin, 2nd (Audio Cassette)
I have read several guides to Dublin and the Rough Guide is the best by far. It is packed full of information in, and unlike many of the other guides, it includes information on off-the-beaten path destinations and day trips outside of Dublin.It has lots of practical information that the first-time traveler to Dublin should know, like what buses you can take from the airport, the (new) location of the Dublin Tourist Office, and the costs of public transport. The style of the Rough Guide is very enjoyable as well. Instead of just a few recommendations for rooms and restaurants, the guide includes many suiting virtually all tastes and budgets. Highly recommended.
