    Hey, two aquaintances of mine are coming to stay a week in dublin and I'll be entertaining them. The problem is, I'm at a loss for things to do / places to go, apart from pubs and all that. We're two blokes and a girl, 19-24 years of age...so, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
    Cheers

    Take them around musems if they are in to that... If all they want to do is get pissed.. then take them anywhere they can do this.
    Bring them to the IFSC/Docklands area.. pretty cool down there.

    If the weather is good.. Phoenix park is a good place.

    IFSC? Whassat?

    Alright, cheers. I'm hoping we can do more than just sit/walk around in the sun, though. Considering they'll get plenty of that when they go back to Israel in a week's time.

    If you are going on the beer in the city take them to The International Bar to see some up and coming Irish comedy,English stand ups are crap.You will all have a good night.

    I'd highly recommend this!!
    Might be worthwhile booking ahead if it's a nice day.

    The ghost bus tour is good, Probably better in winter though when its dark, but should still be interesting!
