Going to the UK and Ireland! Any advice?

On Sunday I will be leaving with my mom to see the United Kingdom and Ireland. I'm looking forward to seeing the castles and towns and cities. And hopefully the Melatonin we're bringing will help us avoid the jet lag from an 11 hour time difference.

Does anyone have any particular pieces of advice about getting around there and how to avoid stepping on too many toes?

I don't really have any advice but I wanted to say have a great time!

Hi Bittersweet! I'm from Dublin in Ireland so I might be able to help you! Where in Ireland are you planning on visiting?

Oh shoot, I don't have the itinerary on me right now. But I do know that Dublin is one of the places in Ireland I'll be stopping by. Blarney too, I think.

Yeah Im from Dublin, avoid Temple Bar at all costs, its in the city centre and its a rip off. if you in Dublin, try go to a place called Dun Leary (Dun Laoghaire) I live there, its nice and its not that far from Dublin City Centre. If you like walking, theres a massive pier and harbour there thats nice to walk, especially now this time of year, walking along there will bring you to a place James Joyce Tower, if your into James Joyce. From there you can go to Killiney and Dalkey, Bono lives there along with a load of other stars.

If your into walking and scenery, there is Wicklow, its a county but a nice one plenty to do and see, lovely scenery and all that.

Dublin is a good place if your into the nightlife, plenty to do lots of decent clubs depending what your into.

You could always go to Galway on the other side of the country, its fairly vibrant and always something going on.

For getting around, there is bus, tram or train. I will say it is fairly expensive though, just a warning.

Thank you! We'll be on a tour, so I'm not sure if we'll have time to go to every place there is before moving on. But thanks for the tip on where not to go.

There are lots of stops, so maybe Galway might be on the way.

Yeah Galway sounds like a good idea. Dont get me wrong about avoiding that Temple Bar area, its a buzzing place and loads in there, its just really really expensive, like rip off prices for everything.
