How many days do you need in Dublin?
3 days is the right length for a first trip to Dublin. That covers Trinity College and the Book of Kells, Temple Bar, the Guinness Storehouse, Kilmainham Gaol and a trad music night. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Howth, Glendalough or the Cliffs of Moher.
