Our one‑week stay in Ireland happened on impulse, sparked by the realization that our flight home from Europe included a layover in Dublin. We found a reasonably priced hotel along Dublin’s outer ring road, conveniently located beside both a train station and several bus routes into the city.
Very quickly, we discovered that the hop‑on hop‑off buses were the easiest way to get our bearings. The bright‑green, locally owned DoDublin buses had the best reviews—and they lived up to the hype. We chose the 72‑hour pass, which also included free citywide bus and train travel, a huge bonus once we’d completed the HOHO loop over two days.
Highlights of our week. We focused on several of Dublin’s classic stops:
* Trinity College and the Book of Kells
* The Temple Bar (there are many)
* The Guinness Storehouse
* The Jameson Distillery
* The Little Museum of Dublin
We also booked a day trip to the Game of Thrones (GOT) Studio Tour in Northern Ireland. They operate their own branded bus for the round‑trip journey, making the excursion easy and seamless.
