The kids loved the pizza here, and the fact they could wander round unhindered. The statue of the naked lady in the corner caused great amusement as well. On the very top floor there is a theatre. It's worth finding out if there is a performance on when you're there. We watched an entrancing xmas story monologue, which kept even the jaded Playstationer glued to his seat. Free soup with a ticket was also a bonus on a cold winter's day.

Irish football - as in soccer, not Gaelic football - may not seem like much in terms of sport in English-speaking Europe, but the games are exciting, the fans are great, and the grounds are delightful.

Tolka Park, home to Shelbourne and Dublin City is on the northside. Richmond Park - home of St. Patrick's and Shamrock Rovers - is west of the city centre past Kilmainham. Like most Irish football grounds it's only about 20 rows deep, so there are no bad seats. Dalymount, home to the Bohemians is above O'Connell Street off North Circular Road. There's even Belfield, back on the south side, home to UCD.

It's a summer league, so there are games during most European leagues’ off-season. With tickets topping out at 12 euros, you can't go wrong.

The real 'left bank' of Dublin. It is everything that Temple Bar aspires to be, mixing art and music with Dublin's finest pubs on one stretch of street. Whelan’s for the best live music and gigs. Carnival for alternative entertainment. Solas for relaxed chat and music. Cassidy’s where Bill Clinton had a pint of Murphys. Ryan’s for some of the best pints in Dublin. The Bleeding Horse, one of the oldest pubs in Dublin. Flannery’s where the country people create a piece of the west in the city. Plus numerous eateries with cuisine from around the world, furniture, fashion and art dealers. What more could you want from a weekend in Dublin?

At the tram station on Stephen's Green take a right away from the Green and you are there.
