Dublin is well served by public transport and its compact centre is easily walkable, so you can skip a rental car entirely. For the historic centre, Trinity College, Grafton Street, Temple Bar, the cathedrals and Dublin Castle, walking is best, with the Luas Green Line handy for longer hops. The Luas Red Line connects the city centre to Kilmainham Gaol and the Guinness Storehouse. For Howth on Day 3, take the DART from Connolly or Tara Street station, a scenic 30 minute ride each way; Phoenix Park is reached by Dublin Bus routes 46A or 37. A Leap Card covers all bus, Luas and DART fares. Taxis via Free Now, Bolt or Uber cost roughly 1.8 EUR per kilometre for late nights or emergencies.

What to order in Dublin, Ireland, with a fun fact for each
Irish stew, made from lamb or mutton, potatoes and onions simmered slowly, began as a frugal one-pot meal and became Ireland's emblem of hearty, comforting cooking.
Coddle, a Dublin favorite of sausages, bacon and potatoes gently simmered in broth, was once an inexpensive, warming meal for working families and remains a symbol of home cooking in the city.
Boxty mixes grated and mashed potatoes into pancakes or dumplings, and the folk rhyme 'Boxty on the griddle' hints at its long place in Irish kitchen lore.
Barmbrack is a fruit-studded tea bread traditionally baked at Halloween with a hidden ring or coin, and finding it was once a playful way to predict marriage and fortune.
Irish apple tart showcases local apples in a simple, buttery pastry and was a classic way for households to celebrate the autumn harvest, often served with a spoonful of custard.
Carrageen pudding uses carrageen moss, a seaweed, as a natural gelling agent, giving the dessert a silky, translucent texture that has been used in Irish kitchens for centuries.
Guinness has been brewed at St. James's Gate in Dublin since 1759 under the famous 9,000-year lease signed by Arthur Guinness, and its roasted barley flavor and nitrogenated pour create the signature smooth, creamy head.
Irish whiskey helped fuel Dublin's 19th-century distilling boom, and its often triple-distilled, mellow character made it a global favorite for neat drinking and cocktails.
Irish coffee was created to warm travelers by combining hot coffee, brown sugar, a shot of Irish whiskey, and a float of cream. The trick is to sip the coffee through the cream for a warm, sweet and velvety mouthfeel.
