Dublin and related destinations

A pint of Guinness at its source is practically mandatory, with the Storehouse tour ending at a rooftop bar with panoramic city views. Trinity College houses the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript that makes modern graphic designers weep with inadequacy. St. Stephen's Green offers respite from Dublin's famously changeable weather, which locals discuss with the detailed analysis normally reserved for sports teams. Speaking of which, catch a match at Croke Park where Gaelic football fans demonstrate enthusiasm that makes American sports crowds seem positively sedate. The pubs of Temple Bar overflow with live music, though savvy visitors seek less touristy establishments where musicians play for love rather than tips.

"This is a lovely hotel, feels modern inside. Staff were super welcoming and accommodating. Hotel rooms are nice, but the layouts are a bit odd and mean the space in the room is a bit off. It didn’t put us off at all, but worth mentioning to future guests. We used the facilities (sauna, steam room, pool) and were impressed by them, super clean and lovely to use. The pub next door is nice for a drink, and we didn’t really get disturbed by any noise! Super hospitable and enjoyed the location, even managed to get in a run down the river which was lovely."
