If you go to Dublin, be sure to visit Newgrange, which is just an hour
north of the city, and Kilamainham Gaol, near the Guiness Brewery. They
give one a real sense of Irish history, from the earliest days to the
fight for independence.

Hi Gianfranco,
Possibly the youngest on the list at a tiny 24. I'd like to go to Dublin
sometime in my life, but probably not this trip because it's not too far a
stretch from the UK (not intending step on anybody's toes!). But I really
do want to visit the birthplace of my name! "Mun Riann your name was,
laddie? Aye drink up!" Also, bent on finding a serpent they say they don't
have :-)
Monument, museums, art galleries, great food, reasonable security and
hospitality- not that much to ask is it?
I'd like to think I'm reasonably urbanised, but the thing is I'm afraid of
coming across as a lost 17 year old (which I could pass off for I've been
told) with a big fat DSLR round my neck- hence my safety paranoia..
Decisions decisions..
