Shawn,

Thanks for your comments about my website. You are starting out on the right foot. A car in Dublin is just a detriment. The traffic can be horrendous and parking is a definite challenge. So being without a car and using public transportation is best.

Dublin is a small walkable city (the places that most tourists want to go). You should be able to access everything you want by DART, bus or walking. There is also an AirLink bus from the airport to many downtown hotels. You might enjoy taking the hop on hop off bus (pass good for 24 hours). It will give you a good tour of the city and then you can get on and off as you please at various attractions.

Have fun in Dublin.

Michele
