Dublin is a city famed for many things! It’s universally known as a great party city but it also comes with a fine and proud literary past. Joyce, Swift, Wilde and Stoker are just a few of the writers whose works were inspired by times they spent in the Irish capital. Today the links with the written word continue through the sale of great works in Dublin’s many excellent bookshops.
Shopping abroad is governed by one of those unwritten rules in life – like if you’re given a cream cake while you’re dieting then the fact you didn’t buy it means it’s clearly calorie-free! Similarly, whenever you are abroad you can go out and buy that expensive item you have been longing for but felt too guilty to buy when at home because splashing the cash overseas doesn’t count!
The Irish are quite proud of their crafts and many houses are decorated with a multitude of quaint little examples of folk art. Buying a few of pieces for yourself might be one of the best ways of taking a little piece of Ireland back home with you.
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.
