Local knowledge for Dublin
Where to stay
Hostels cluster on the north side along Gardiner Street and around Mountjoy Square, close enough to walk to the GPO and O'Connell Street but cheaper than anything near Trinity College. Smithfield and Stoneybatter, about a 20-minute walk west of the center, have a handful of good options and pubs that aren't priced for tour groups.
Getting around
- Get a Leap Card at any convenience store and load it up before you go anywhere. It covers the Luas tram, Dublin Bus, and DART rail, and costs noticeably less per trip than paying cash fares.
- Temple Bar pubs charge two to three euros more per pint than the rest of the city. The pubs in Stoneybatter or Rathmines pour the same Guinness for less.
- Book at least six weeks out if your dates fall in March. St. Patrick's week pushes hostel prices up sharply across the whole city and dorm beds sell out fast.
When to go
January and February are the slowest months with the lowest rates, while June through August and the week around St. Patrick's Day see the highest prices and the least dorm availability.
