Time Out Dublin (Time Out Guides)

Time Out's guide to Dublin delves deep into the city's heart and soul as it teeters on the precipice of yet another transformation. Nearing the end of its epoch as the prime beneficiary of the EU's largesse, the Irish Tiger economy is beginning to look more like the Irish Tabby, and Dublin itself is deep in introspection. The city's surface has been polished like never before in its history, but we look beneath the shiny veneer to the humble, wonderful, historic, complex and conflicted city that it has always been. Find the best of its sights, and avoid the worst, with our guide, freshly updated by those who know the city best - its locals. Lose yourself on its tangled alleyways, lose your cash on Grafton Street, or misplace your common sense in Temple Bar - however you come at this town, Time Out will take you directly to the best it has to offer.
