One of the many wonderful things about Ireland is that just about everyone you’ll meet seems to be a comedian. The Irish generally enjoy a good laugh and can be very entertaining in conversation – especially after a couple of pints – so you can imagine what their comedians must be like.

If you’re passionate about jazz, then you know how it feels to hear those swinging rhythms and can truly appreciate the unique qualities of this musical genre.

If you’re taking your kids with you on holiday then you’ll be constantly on the lookout to find them something to do.  After all, there are few things more annoying than a bored child.  If you multiply that by two or three, then you’re in for a pretty miserable time indeed. 

The first thing you need to know about the Irish Museum of Modern Art is that it is housed in one of Dublin’s first ever and finest 17th century classical buildings – the former Royal Hospital Kilmainham. 

This may sound painful, but it’s not – actually it’s very convenient. The Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) is Dublin city’s electrified train service and apart from being an easy and cost-effective way of getting around, it is also known for being punctual and very quick – particularly as it bypasses the busy Dublin traffic.  It’s quite easy to imagine why the DART is used by over 80,000 passengers every day.

It’s a cliché and a stereotype, but just because it isn’t fair to say that Dublin is full of drunks, doesn’t mean that you yourself cannot go and get completely plastered. (Please note that 101Dublin does not in anyway condone excessive drinking on a regular basis. Just Weekends).

If you need to catch a taxi you will find that they abound in good supply in Dublin.  However they are not normally stopped in the street and you’ll usually find them waiting for fares at taxi stands near hotels, train and bus stations, and central spots such as Trinity College and O’Connell Street.

Ideally located on Dublin´s Upper Drumcondra Road, the Dublin Skylon Hotel in Dublin is the perfect choice of Dublin hotel accommodation for both business and leisure visitors alike.

A quick drive away from Dublin lies the quaint 18th Century village of Slane.  There, the breathtaking landscape is dominated by the legendary Hill of Slane, which stands at 158 metres.

Can you imagine leaping over the waves in Dublin Bay with this fantastic city as a backdrop?  If you’re a keen windsurfer or would simply wish to try it out, Dublin will provide you with a treat to satisfy your need for excitement.
