It’s a city that looms large in the imagination—even if you don’t happen to be Irish. Leprechauns and shamrocks. James Joyce and Oscar Wilde, the River Liffey meeting the Irish Sea, U2 and The Dubliners. And of course pubs pouring Guinness, rollicking with song and energetic conversation and maybe a little dance, late into the evening.
Yes, some of these are stereotypes. But the best part of visiting Dublin? Even if you only have a day to spend there, you’ll have plenty of chances to experience the famous luck and warmth of the Irish.
