Anyone know most reasonable method of getting to hotel? Other hints about getting about Dublin for 5 days with no rental car? Reccommended must sees?

Thanks in advance.

I visited Ireland in the 70's and think it is the most beautiful place. The countryside is outstanding, sooooo green and lush. It was easy to drive around, although its the wrong side of the road, its the right side of the car (if I remember correctly). But there wasn't much traffic and its easy to get around, its a shame not to drive at your leisure and be able to view the small towns and spend time in restaurants and talking to the locals without a bus load of other people around. My suggestion is to be sure to visit the local confectionery's (bakeries) and pubs... Wonderful pastries and wonderful people in the pubs.

You can tell, this Italian girl really loved Ireland. I hope to go back some day!!
