If you want to see the spookier side of Dublin then the thing to do is head for the cemetery with a suitably scary name – Bully’s Acre.
Everybody out there loves a bargain! The thought of snapping up something for an attractively low price, or for a fraction of what you’d pay in a High Street shop, is almost too good to be true. Markets are not only a good way of getting some good prices on the latest fashions but also a chance of buying some incredibly fresh produce - and Dublin has a great selection.
It’s a funny old thing how certain cemeteries are so special that they emerge as a tourist attraction. And so you get people flocking to Highgate Cemetery in London, to Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris and to the Recoleta in Buenos Aires. Dublin has a suitably grand, huge and eminent equivalent – it’s called Glasnevin and it is the final resting place of many notable Irish folk.
