Good

We got a few hlepful tips from Fodor's, but the Rough Guide to Dublin was much more in-depth and helpful from a practical standpoint. I wouldn't make this my only guide to Dublin.

Too Brief

City Pack Dubliin has good material and excellent photographs...but if you are planning to stay in Dublin for more than a day and do any sightseeing on your own, you'll want a more substantial guidebook. Not that I didn't learn quite a bit from this one. I learned, for instance, that the church where we will be attending a wedding was built by Cardnial Newman and is overwhelming in its Byzantine interior. But we will be in Dublin for several days, and I would have like more detailed maps for walking, more specific information about transportation options, and more restaurant and hotel choices. I also would have like to be able to find out if the Shelbounre is the hotel where Scarlett stayed in that most unsuccessful sequal to Gone With the Wind.

Dublin at Its Best!

This book was very useful in pointing out great 'must sees' and 'must dos'. I would recommend this book to anyone who plans on traveling to Dublin, Ireland. It made hotel selections quite easy. And we didn't wander around in any unnecessary areas looking for a great place to dine. I will continue to use Fodor's as my travel expert!
