re: Dublin next week

We stayed on St Stephen’s Green. Walked everywhere. Jameson distillery is a must and do the black label blending tour. We were there for the 1st St Patricks day after Covid so it was insanely packed. We enjoyed it more the week after on our return from Galway. Temple bar area is best for walking, pub crawling and people watching. I will say we arrived in Dublin and the only thing booked was our hotel the 1st two nights. We spent the next 8 days traveling around the country in trains and buses. Booking Hotels while on the way to our next destination. Researching and asking locals for advice. Very friendly and easy place to travel. Started in Dublin, then Cork and Galway and back to Dublin. Lots of stops in between.
