This pocket format guide to Dublin cuts out the blarney and delivers a contemporary perspective on the hip capital of the new Ireland. It covers the city area by area and is designed to help you know what to look out for and how to make the most of your time. Considering a city for all tastes, from Phoenix Park in the north to Joyce's Dublin in the south, the guide features: the pulse of the music scene; the best of the pubs, comedy clubs and theatres; a full range of accommodation listings from luxury hotels to welcoming B and practical transport options for buses, bikes, taxis and DART rail links, as well as the best walker-friendly routes for getting about on foot. It also considers day trips out of the city south to the Wicklow mountains and north to Newgrange and Knowth, and the cultural highs in the museums, galleries and historical sights, as well as details of the city's festivals and events calendar.
Part of a series of British Isles travel guides, this is a comprehensive guide to the whole of Ireland from the Glens of Antrim to the bays of West Cork. Written by two authors who have a close knowledge, understanding and affinity with Ireland, it draws on the entire culture and history of the country to conjure up its spirit, while giving information for travellers on the practicalities and the wide variety of activities Ireland has to offer. The highlights are illustrated with colour photography, and there are detailed descriptions of long distance walks such as the Kerry Way.
