Things to do/see in Dublin

TriggerHappy · 23 Jul 2010

I'm going to Dublin next month with a few friends but only for 36 hours. We'll arrive mid-afternoon one day and probably head to a pub to get drinking and hopefully have a good night out. The next day we're looking to do the more touristy thing and I'm tempted to take my camera dependent on where we decide to stay (I wouldn't trust leaving my gear in a youth hostel!) so does anyone have any recommendations of things to do or see within the city that have good photographic potential?

There was a great thread a while ago with lots of things to do in Dublin, I'll see if I can find it.

Temple bar gets a lot of mention. That sounds like a food challenge to me. Who wants photos of me stuffing my face?

The people are fantastic to shoot, linky , the brewery, the university and I agree that the E & C is a nice place to eat (chicken wings were OK but anyone who likes chicken wings must like anything as I feel the only flavour you get from a wing is the sauce, you may as well ask for some soda bread & their sauce and dip it with the bread)

Nip into the Auld Dubliner, Farringtons (Temple Bar) to see some great musicians.

Don't forget your wallet!!!!!!!!

Some good shots in your thread. Sadly anywhere expensive is off limits. We've got flights for £24 and accommodation will be even cheaper!
