This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel here. Why should you go to Dublin? Garvan describes Dublin as approachable and human in scale, a capital that feels more like a town than a sprawling metropolis. Visitors often find a sense of connection here, whether or not they have Irish ancestry. The city's story reflects its complex past: British rule for over 700 years followed by independence only about a century ago, leaving visible traces in architecture, monuments, and institutions. Practical Orientation Stay on the south side of the River Liffey for convenience and quieter nights. Avoid lodging in Temple Bar if you want sleep, though it is worth visiting for nightlife. Dublin's small size makes it easy to explore on foot or via guided walking tours. If arriving on a red-eye from North America, ease into sightseeing with a shorter itinerary. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-dublin-ireland-2/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Ireland on a Tighter Budget: Smart Ways to Spend Less, Not Miss Out

Planning an Ireland vacation can feel overwhelming when you start adding up the numbers -but a memorable trip doesn't have to be out of reach. With smart choices and a few intentional trade-offs, travelers can enjoy Ireland fully without overspending. Guinness costs less in a rural pub This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. How to Travel Ireland on a Tighter Budget Without Regret Ireland isn't expensive because of one single thing – it's the accumulation of daily costs. Understanding where money actually matters (and where it doesn't) makes all the difference. What a Realistic Daily Budget Looks Like For travelers watching their spending, typical daily costs (not including flights) often look like this: Budget-conscious travelers: around €130 per day Mid-range comfort: approximately €180 per day Comfort & luxury: €300+ per day That daily spend usually includes accommodations, meals, transportation, and attractions. Knowing this baseline helps travelers decide where to adjust – without sacrificing what they'll remember most. Comfort Matters More Than Luxury Most travelers are happy to skip fancy hotels, upgraded rooms, or city-center addresses. What they won't give up: A good night's sleep Private rooms and quiet locations Comfortable beds and reliable hot water (with good water pressure) Discomfort creates regret, and regret has a way of coloring the entire trip. Local goats cheese with greens and Shepherd's pie Spend Less on Food-But Eat Well Dining is one of the easiest places to adjust spending. Plan fewer, better meals instead of eating out constantly Avoid high-priced areas like Temple Bar for everyday meals and pints Choose accommodations with breakfast outside the cities Use grocery shops or petrol stations for casual lunches or picnic supplies Saving money on food isn't about deprivation – it's about choosing when the experience really matters. Guide to Eating Well During Your Ireland Vacation Stay Outside the Most Expensive Areas Staying just outside major hubs can significantly reduce accommodation costs. Villages near Dublin connected by DART or bus offer better value Rural areas near popular spots like Killarney, Dingle, or County Clare beyond Doolin often cost less The trade-off is time and logistics. Distance is flexible; complicated transportation and missed evenings in local pubs are not. Off-Season Travel: Big Savings, Different Rhythm Traveling outside peak season can mean:Pros Lower airfare and accommodation costs Fewer crowds Easier access to popular sites Cons Shorter daylight hours (often 8 hours or less in winter) Cooler, wetter weather Reduced hours or closures at smaller attractions Off-season trips suit flexible travelers, repeat visitors, and those who enjoy a slower pace. Transportation: Money vs. Time Public transportation is affordable, but it comes with trade-offs: Limited access in rural areas Longer travel times Less flexibility if plans change It works best for city-based itineraries with structured day trips. Renting a car costs more -but saves time and opens up more of the countryside. Flights: Cheapest Isn't Always the Best Deal Bare-bones airfare can backfire once baggage fees, seat selection, or change costs are added. Look for fares that include a checked bag and flexibility Learn typical pricing so true deals stand out Flexibility upfront often saves money later Flight search & fare tools for Ireland Flight monitoring & booking strategy (best timing for fixed dates) Ross Castle in Killarney Free Experiences & the OPW Heritage Card Ireland offers an incredible range of free experiences: Natural landscapes, hikes, and ruins National museums in Dublin and Castlebar One of the best values for travelers is the OPW Heritage Card, which often pays for itself in six or seven visits. It covers many top sites, including: Rock of Cashel Glendalough Visitor Centre Newgrange Kilmainham Gaol OPW Heritage Card (access to top historic sites) Irish heritage sites (the most popular + often overlooked) Used thoughtfully, it shapes a relaxed itinerary instead of becoming a checklist. Souvenirs That Actually Matter Travelers are moving away from mass-produced trinkets and toward: One or two meaningful items (jewelry, wool, crafts) Consumables like Irish chocolate or whiskey Memory-keepers like journals with ticket stubs and photos (the spiral bound My Ireland Vacation Planner & Journal is perfect for this!) The goal isn't proof of travel – it's connection and memories. Where Travelers Most Often Have Regrets After the trip, regrets rarely come from spending money. They usually come from: Overly long driving days Skipping a must-do experience Choosing poor accommodations What travelers don't regret: A truly great meal Staying somewhere special (yes, castles count) Buying a meaningful souvenir Saving money should never come at the cost of time – because time doesn't come back. Traveling Ireland on a tighter budget isn't about being cheap. It's about being intentional, returning home with great memories, and not wishing you'd done things differently.

Last weekend, over the course of 24 hours, two men were stabbed and seriously injured in separate incidents in Dublin's city centre.An English tourist was hospitalised on Saturday night after he was stabbed in Temple Bar and on Sunday, a 17-year-old teenager was left in a critical condition after he was repeatedly stabbed on Dublin's Eden Quay.These latest attacks will undoubtedly reinforce beliefs that the streets of the Irish capital are becoming unsafe. They also come in the wake of a surge in attacks against immigrants, particularly the Indian community.Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan recently pushed back against any suggestions that Dublin was unsafe, arguing that the capital city is actually becoming safer. In contrast, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said earlier this year that people living, working and visiting the city “have been robbed of their sense of safety”.In today's episode, Irish Times crime and security editor Conor Lally joins Sorcha Pollak to discuss the latest crime figures in the capital and how recent assaults are impacting people's perception of personal safety.Produced by Suzanne Brennan and Declan Conlon.

Seen from a passing stagecoach, you might think that Gylingden Hall is not the sort of place where the dead rest easily. The chimneys are cold, the gallery echoes with no human tread, and the great trees that line the avenue whisper of old wrongs and buried fury. In the shadow of the ruined chapel and beneath the rot-black timbers of the house, something lingers—a grief curdled into malice, a legacy neither signed nor forgotten. Squire Toby's Will is not a tale of ghosts who startle, but of the slow, relentless suffocation of guilt, and of the strange things a man will refuse to see, even when they're clawing at the door. Published anonymously in Temple Bar magazine, Volume XXII, in 1868. Later attributed to Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and often compared to his novel The Wyvern Mystery, written around the same time. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic fiction and supernatural tales, widely praised for his subtle and psychologically charged ghost stories. A master of atmosphere and ambiguity, he was admired by M. R. James and influenced the shape of modern horror fiction. ⭐ Join my Patreon ⭐ https://patreon.com/barcud Go here for a library of ad-free stories, a monthly members only story and early access to the regular stories I put out.  You can choose to have ghost stories only, or detective stories or classic literature, or all of them for either $5 or $10 a month.  Many hundreds of hours of stories.

After travelling through Montreal, Bilbao, and Vilnius, cities alive with colour, sound, and soul, I returned home and felt the contrast sharply. Dublin, like many cities across the developed world, feels hollowed out. Despite booming economic growth and over €150 billion sitting idle in savings accounts, our capital is crumbling. Streets are lifeless, dereliction is everywhere, and policy seems paralysed. So what went wrong? This week, we explore how bad incentives, not bad people, kill cities. Drawing on historical revivals like Temple Bar, we propose bold 21st-century solutions: tax breaks to bring buildings back to life, amnesties to release hoarded property, and a new savings product that lets the public invest directly in urban renewal. If the private sector won't build, let the public fund it. Then we turn to global markets, where Trump is gearing up to fire Fed Chair Jay Powell and slash interest rates. But he may learn the hard way: the bond market, not the White House, sets the tempo. If confidence cracks, long-term interest rates could skyrocket. Urban decay and global volatility are two sides of the same economic coin. Can we change course in time? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
