  Dublin: Cold, Old, Charming, Maddening, Lovable

  Dublin, Ireland

  Once on a March day in Dublin I woke to flurries dusting the crocuses in the garden, went out to lunch under blue skies and clean-rinsed sunshine that made the grass on St. Stephen’s Green glow almost neon-green, and rode home in a black thunderstorm, watching wind-driven ripples of rain crawl upwards along the windshield of the 15B. Changeable and chancy, prone to grand gestures and spurts of gloom: The Irish weather and character may not be unrelated. Dublin is an old town, with a central core of grey stone, green grass, blue skies and wrought iron. Dublin is a small town: Befriend some Irish people and you will find that when you are out with them in Dublin they are forever unexpectedly running into people they know. This tendency can make this city of a million people feel cozily charming to the visitor but perhaps a trifle claustrophobic for the long-term resident. Dubliners fight back with wit, a teasing, challenging jesting that makes conversation into a game, and the country’s true national pastime. (Cabbies everywhere talk your ear off; only in Dublin do they say while doing it that they could “talk for Ireland,” as if conversation itself were an Olympic sport.) You can’t go anywhere in Dublin without tripping over history, and despite the dent made by the recession, the Celtic Tiger has given the old town a mix of restaurants and clubs and galleries and nightlife appropriate to any cosmopolitan European capital. Some of my private treasures: A pint at the pavilion while watching a cricket match at Trinity. The steam coming up from a brown paper packet of fish and chips in front of the Lord Edward at midnight. The coffee at the farmer’s market in Old Meeting House Sq. in Temple Bar every Saturday. The fresh donut from the tiny kiosk tucked along O’Connell St. Those are the unique charms. But for a wink, a pint, and a bit of chat you can stop at any corner, and that’s what makes Dublin itself.

  Dublin, Ireland

  It's no wonder Dublin has been voted the best capital city in Europe to visit five years in a row - there's something for everyone - trendy bars and restaurants,exciting night life,varied shopping,attractions of all kinds from the Guinness Factory tour to the Kilmainham Jail tour. It's rich with a culture all of it's own and a fasinating history. You can loose yourself in the many periods of architecture to be found. Most importantly there are great value money deals to be found from accommodations to meals to tours - just ask an informed local.
