I want to go to Ireland on holidays next month. Where should I go? What should I drink? What should I view? Any great gigs?
Thanks, guys.

You'll have a ball. Mind you October weather can be really bad,not unlike the rest of the year!!
My favourite Bars to visit
Dakota bar , william street/ Dublin city centre
Foggy dew Dame st " / " "
Whelans Wexford street / " " Live music and good indie club
Bruxelles Best jukebox ever/ City centre
Also you should visit if you have the time:
Galway / Great city, good bars and live music
Cork / Great craic, good people
Co.Wicklow has some amazing scenery and really cools pubs such as Johnnie foxs.
I would recommend renting a car as public transport is shocking for people on a budget who want to see alot of the country.
Also it depends on what you are after really, Dublin is great fun , but is not a proper represenation of the country, you could probably rent a car and get a good feel for the place in 2 weeks. Most citys can be driven to in about 3 hours.
Also go to the Guinness brewery for some awesome stout and for the best view of the city.
Enjoy your stay.

Thanks a lot, Sam!
I want to rent a car, but I'm scared: You know, every country has its own driving rules. And I'm travelling all alone, so I'll probably get lost many times. But getting lost can be a funny situation after all.
I want to visit the "real" Ireland, the day by day living, if it means something :)
Also I want to visit Yeats grave. Where is it?

speaking as a visitor, i can recommend the south. the north (of ireland, not northern ireland) is not so beautiful - there is high unemployment, and i had a general feel of depression there. altough i liked the island of keel !
dublin was nice, yes.
but as a tourist, i like scotland more...hope all those irish pixies on this forum aren't angry now

Ireland is the second most beautiful country in the world....after New Zealand.
I wholehaertedly endorse the hiring and car suggestion.
my wife and i drove round ireland for 2 weeks a couple of years ago, and it was truly the best 2 weeks i have ever had in my life.
The south is the most beautiful.
doolin a particular highlight.
i also recommend camping cause it's very cheap, and plenty of very nice camp grounds.
also, make sure you try the seafood chowder at every town you stop at - you won't regret it, and also try Bulmers Cider...it's beautiful.
man o man, i love that country!
have fun whore...

No problem WATD, Yeats is buried in Drumecliff in Sligo which is North west and close to Galway so worth a visit.
Hey Vovat i missed yer question 1st time.
Leprachauns are similar to your presidents brain, in that their existance is extremely hard to prove.  |
