Practical Dublin tips — fast
If you’re visiting, get to grips with transport first. Dublin has a compact center you can walk, but longer trips use the DART trains and Luas trams. Buy a Leap Card to save on fares. Taxis are common, but rideshare apps make trips easier late at night. Weather changes fast — pack a light rain jacket year-round.
Where to go: Temple Bar for nightlife, Trinity College for history, the Docklands for modern cafes and business hubs. For quieter streets and parks, try St Stephen’s Green or the residential areas around Ranelagh and Rathmines. If you want local food, head to markets like the Dublin Food Co-op or urban vendors at weekend markets.
Money and connectivity: Ireland uses the euro. ATMs and card payments are widely accepted, but carry a small amount of cash for markets. Get a local SIM or an international plan with data—maps and timetables work better that way.
Safety and etiquette: Dublin feels safe, but watch your belongings in busy areas and late-night crowds. Irish people are friendly — a quick hello goes a long way. Respect queueing and local signage.
