Dublin Distractions
Congrats. You've made it to Dublin. You've booked the Guinness Storehouse tour. You're even considering a horse and cart ride round St. Stephen's Green. But, dear visitor, whilst these are worthy city distractions, you now see before you a comprehensive compendium of things to do in Dublin and its scenic environs.So suss out such gems as the National Museum (of which there are three), Jameson Distillery (where whiskey never tasted so good) and the National Wax Museum (think Bono without the verbosity). Or find yourself a little eaterie away from the madding hordes.
And, when the weather holds (and don't forget, there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing), jump on the DART and go coastal. Ireland Highlights & Hidden Gems has all the beef on Dublin daytrips and further afield.
The Traditional Irish Trail will have you doing the Riverdance like Flatley on heat and discovering Irish legends to stir the soul. And green-gilded souvenir options will have you leaving with your own little piece of Ireland.
The word is the economy's on the up, so shake off those late summer woes and embrace one of Europe's finest cities. And if you stumble across anything worthy of inclusion in this guide, email dublin@inyourpocket.com with your findings.

The Long Room
Stepping into this vast book-lined room is like walking onto the set of a movie, so grand is its scale and setting. Indeed, sci-fi buffs may well recognise the room's resemblance to the Jedi Archives from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

Old Jameson Distillery
Walk across the see-through floor - beneath which lie original stone foundations - and enter the evocative world of John Jameson, a Scottish migrant who began making whiskey here in 1780.
