5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth It, March 20, 2001

By	Irish Flair (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frommer's Portable Dublin (Paperback)

I find the Frommer's guides to be very helpful for my trips to Ireland especially. This one is perfect if you plan on visiting Dublin. As in other Frommer guides this book starts with the "Best Of" in Dublin, how to get there and what you'll need when planning your trip. It then goes on to getting to know Dublin, places to stay, places to eat and drink, attractions, shopping and night life. Additionally, this guide includes places that you can easily visit just outside of Dublin City in Counties Wicklow and Kildare. The review continues with hours and dates places are open as well as prices for attractions, for accommodations and for dining. For each category there are phone numbers, web sites, if available, and general maps of the area. A newer version of the is book is due to come out any day now but probably has similar information only with updated prices. If you only have time for Dublin, or want to spend your time doing nothing else but Dublin, this little pocket guide is the only one you'll need!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dublin and Near by, March 14, 2006

By	TOz - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frommer's Portable Dublin (Frommer's Portable) (Paperback)

This is a great book if you're planning a trip to Dublin and the surrounding country side. The maps are very helpful, and the schedule for the bus and DART (metro train) are great. Well worth the money.
A couple of items it doesn't cover - no refills on drinks except water, Temple Bar area is quite pricey as are most restaurants or Pubs. Convenience stores make a great sandwich on a long panini bread - if you're traveling around consider buying one in the A.M. and munching on it at lunch. You can get virtually anywhere in town, and even the greater metro area by DART or bus. Just ask around - but beware, Dublin is an international city, friendly people, but I sense they are growing tired of answering the same question for the 100th time today. P.S. face cloths/wash rags must be asked for at the front desk.
