  I wouldn’t recommend Dublin for site seeing. Compared to other parts of Ireland there’s not a lot to look at, plus it’s the most expensive part to visit (it is the capital after all). If you wanted to visit a city in Ireland, I would recommend Galway or Cork. From the majority of Irish people that I’ve heard, Galway is their favourite city in the country. But Cork recently appeared in Lonely Planets Top 10 Places to visit in 2010 (I think it was third) along side cities like Abu Dhabi, Charleston, Singapore and Vancouver. It said Cork was now “at the top of its game: sophisticated, vibrant and diverse”.
  I live in Ireland and the majority of people avoid visiting Dublin at all costs. It’s too busy, the people come across as rude (to tourists and Irish people from outside the city, a lot of people complain about this) and it’s very expensive. It’s the 25th most expensive city to live in in the world, recently dropping nine places due to the recession. But to visit there would still be very expensive. You could be talking about €100 a night for a decent hotel.
  Ireland, apart from Dublin, is a lot more expensive then Canada. Everything, including alcohol, cigarettes, clothes and food is more expensive then countries like Canada, the U.K and the U.S.A, so be prepared.
  You could try this website to get an idea of the prices of hotels: .
  Compared to other countries our hotels are of a high standard.
  If you did visit Cork, I would recommend visiting Kerry, particularly Kilarney. Here is a good website for tourism in Ireland, this link is for Cork and Kerry:

  Also, I’d advise you to ask about Scotland in the United Kingdom section, you should be able to speak to Scotish people there.

  Dublin airport is about half an hour from the city by bus or taxi. I’d recommend bus. There is a 6 euro bus ticket you can get inside the airport which allows you to use the same ticket for the rest of the day if you wanted to explore Dublin.
  After your airfares, the big expense will be hotels, but in the following link you can check Dublin hotels, B+Bs, guesthouses, hostels and self catering via the link on the top right corner of the page
  If you want to stay closest to the centre of town, look for places with Dublin 1 or 2 in the address. Next best would be Dublin 7, 8 or 4, where you might have a short bus ride.
  This is a good map, you can research the address of your accommodation by typing in the street name in the space at the top

  Paisley in Scotland is beside Glasgow Airport, and it is a nice easy town to walk around. You can get a bus or taxi into the town centre. Map at,+Renfrewshire,+UKgl=ieei=qSFLS-rLLZLH4ga7z5H6Agsa=Xoi=geocode_resultct=imageresnum=1ved=0CAkQ8gEwAA

  Paisley is also a short bus ride (less than 10 miles) into Glasgow, which would be another place to explore.
