people say its expensive cos the prices rocketed when they introduced the euro. in relation to how they used to be

drinks in temple bar are no more expensive than london clubs

there are some nice hotels too, and good places to eat. the guiness factory is a good tour and the view from the tower bar at the end of the tour is good.

theres not really much north of the liffey, and everywhere is walkable, dont bother with cabs or buses.

st stevens green is nice and also areas around trinity college
