Where to stay?

Dublin is currently a very, very expensive city...

As in London, university accomodations are rented out as hotel rooms during some breaks:

• Dublin City University Rooms. There are several locations.

• Trinity College also offers rooms, but not sure this is the best link for the hotel service. I found out about it on booking.com.

What to do (day)

Interesting places to visit

• Kilminham Gaol museum: A former prison-turned-museum and national monument. It did held political prisoners in the past. During guided tours, visitors can learn about the country’s struggle for independence and the role of LGBTQIA+ individuals in shaping Irish history.

• Temple Bar neighbourhood is the gay neighbourhood.

• The National Gallery of Ireland: Free art museum.

• St. Stepeh's Green is a nice park to incorporate in a city walk.
