When I was in Ireland, I visited Dublin twice. Both time, Dublin never failed to deliver. Being the capital of Ireland, Dublin is the biggest city in Ireland, with great buildings and a good mix of people from around the world.
Where to stay?
In summer, I learnt that a lot of universities in Europe rent out their vacated students’ accommodation. In Limerick, I stay in Brookfield Studio Apartment in Castletroy, which is a fantastic place to stay. In Dublin, I rented another student apartment, the students’ accommodation of Dublin City University (DCU).

Description: These rooms are compact and functional. They are perfect for those looking for ensuite bedrooms at affordable prices. There is a choice between single and double rooms. All of the rooms are ensuite and all guests can avail of the shared kitchen/living areas.
Price: €43 for one person B&B in a single ensuite room (full breakfast incl.)
€81 for two people B&B in a double ensuite room (full breakfast incl.)
Room-only option: €34.50 for a single ensuite & €65 for a double ensuite.
Not a 5 stars hotel, but it is nice and affordable.
There are many other places you can rent, well, it depends on how much you willing to spend. Being a budget traveler, I choose the one that give the most value out of my hard-earned money.
Transportation is not a problem. There are a good number of Buses.
Grafton Street- must visit
Grafton Street is the most famous shopping street in Ireland. It is a shopping heaven, from street peddlers to Gucci; you can find almost anything in Grafton Street.
