Dublin Like a Local

Local Travel Guide Series (DK Eyewitness)

by DK Eyewitness Travel

Experience Dublin the local way with this insider's guide

Dublin is utterly charming: trad pubs, illustrious libraries and age-old markets. But what's beyond the sights we all know and love? Secret basement dens holding after-hours poetry slams, buskers serenading kayakers along the Liffey, and seafood shacks plating up freshly caught oysters, that's what. Dublin is so much more than Temple Bar and Trinity College - and who better to show you around than the locals?

This gorgeous insider's guide is packed with recommendations from Dubliners in the know, helping you to discover all their favourite hangouts and hidden haunts. Of course, with a city as legendary as Dublin we could fill the pages of this book tenfold. Rather, Dublin Like a Local offers a snapshot of local life, and it's yours for the taking.

Whether you're a Dubliner looking to uncover your city's secrets or a traveller seeking an authentic experience beyond the tourist track, this stylish guide makes sure you experience the real side of Dublin.

odd that there was no LBGTQ+ section in this book when there has been in others.

Unfortunately a few of the places in the book have since closed (mostly due to Covid it seems). Other than that, I just moved to Dublin and everyone in the book that I’ve visited has been incredible and when I’ve asked local friends for recommendations, over 75% of the time their recommendations have overlapped with the book. It really made me come in feeling a bit more comfortable and in the know.

A niche guide which works best as an adjunct to a more general travel guide, especially for the novice traveller. There's a lot of flipping back and forth through pages; the book is not organized by area but by theme. Maps are helpful. The phrase "like a local" is significant - you already need to be one to best appreciate this guide. Beware: this is so venue-specific that many of the locations may be closed by the time you get to Dublin.

Perfect for finding places and points of interest outside the normal tourist attractions. This book is designed to be referenced in a hotel or planning your trip. I wouldn’t travel with this book while roaming the streets of Dublin, but there are many good find. Very pleased 😊

This was one of the most encouraging travel books I have ever read. Light-hearted, insightful and full of superb options.
It felt positively overwhelming at times because I know that it would take so much time to discover all of these places.
