Dublin

Dublin is fun and lively. The locals are some of the friendliest I've even encountered in my travels. Although its pretty expensive to the point I can't see myself staying there for very long. Eating out and having some drinks I feel sets you back far too much.

All those saying Dublin is boring need a reality check, it has an amazing nightlife with incredibly friendly people. I agree a lot of the scores are way off but its true that it is ridiculously expensive especially for accommodation.

So expensive and boring, Lots of Tech HQs located in Dublin so lots for work opportunities

The price of just about everything in Dublin makes me think that Ireland is a bit deluded about how attractive its capital actually is.

extremely expensive, worse food ever, (those people do not have anything decent to eat) - not impressed about the awfully expensive beer .the city is dull, boring.

A lot of the scores for Dublin are way off. Every house has a central heating system and A/C is never required. People are extremely friendly and approachable. Virgin Media offer 120MB Internet which is available in the vast majority of places in the city. It is however a very expensive city to live in.

Visit Temple Bar but avoid eating or drinking there as it is a tourist trap and very expensive.
Georges Street and the surrounding area is where the locals hang out. The food and drink are cheaper and atmosphere is better.
Buy a "leap" card and use it for pubic transport everywhere. It's cheaper than paying as you go.
Dublin is a small city and everywhere is cyclable. "Dublin bikes" are dispersed throughout the city. It's a very cheap way to explore the city.
