Drinks & Nightlife
Amazing live, traditional music. Temple Bar is for tourists, the Cobblestone is a bit more authentic.

Blackbird

This is the place where taste and dignity come to die. It is a meat market, pure and simple. You've been warned.

Food scene
A little bit pricey, but worth it. This gastro-pub does traditional pub fare with a new, hip twist. They also serve loads of different craft beers.

Sightseeing
Beautiful long hall library in the middle of Trinity College. The book of Kells is located here. At 12 Euros, I personally think it is a bit overpriced, and it's usually not a bad idea to book in advance. Otherwise, just walk around Trinity Campus, a bit of an oasis in the city center.
See a jail where Irish political dissidents were held and mistreated, contributing to the 1916 uprising that resulted to Irish independence. A very important part of the country's history. You can only enter with a guided tour so be sure to book in advance.

The most popular tourist destination in the city, hands down. Book your tour in advance and consider going on a weekday or early in the day to avoid crowds. If you're not interested in beer/Guinness, you can skip it!

This was once voted the most disappointing tourist destination. You want spot a local here unless they are working behind the bar. A quick walk through is really all you need to get the idea.
