Trips To Dublin is an independent guide to the city, written and maintained by Samer Alqaisi. It is part of a network of guides that includes Trips To The World and separate sites for Istanbul, Madrid and New York.
What this site is trying to be
Most Dublin content will tell you the city is friendly and that you should visit the Guinness Storehouse. Far less of it will tell you that Kilmainham Gaol books out weeks ahead and is the most substantial hour you will spend here, that the National Museum is free and better than most things you would pay for, or that a pint four streets from Temple Bar costs half as much.
That specificity is the point: not that somewhere is nice, but when to go, what it costs, what to book, and when it is not worth it.
How it is researched
Opening times, fees and access rules come from the venue’s or the authority’s own source and are dated on the page. If a price is not shown, it is because it has not been checked recently enough to be worth printing.
Anything quoted should be treated as an indication and checked before you budget around it. Dublin reprices frequently, and the Guinness Storehouse in particular uses dynamic pricing that changes by the day and the hour.
Corrections are made quickly and acknowledged.
How it is funded
Advertising and some affiliate links, mainly hotel and flight search. If you book through one, the site may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
What that does not buy: no hotel, pub, tour operator, distillery or attraction has paid for a mention or a position here. No sponsored posts, no paid placements, no press trips. Where something is not worth the money, the page says so — which is why the Guinness Storehouse entry sets out the case against it as well as for it.
