We've been to Dublin twice now, and will return in April for a small group tour with Walter's Way Tours. We're arriving 2 days early because I hate dealing with jetlag, and never sleep on the plane. We'll arrive at 10 am on Friday, so we'll have that afternoon, then all day Saturday.
As you might expect, we've done the usual tourist attractions, so we're looking for something new this time. As I mentioned in a previous thread, we want to see the jail, and maybe the Teeling Distillery. I was about to make reservations for the distillery, but then I thought "why?" Touring another distiller is like touring another winery - once you're seen a huge room with huge vats filled with mash/grapes/whatever, you've seen them all, IMO. Maybe we'll go by the distillery to pick up a bottle or 2 but I don't really see the point of a tour there.
The idea of just wandering seems like a huge wasted opportunity. I think we'll make reservations for the jail on Saturday morning, so we'll have both Friday and Saturday afternoons free, and hopefully by Saturday I'll be functioning a little better. So - suggestions on what to see/do - any Dublin expert here?
