Creator's Key Takeaways

We'll tell you how much it costs, what you do, if you need euros, if you can pay by card, how easy it is, how frequent the trains are.

We'll also put on here how much the cruise company are charging for excursions from Dublin. Now, this is with Princess Cruise Lines.

We've just had a pint of Guinness and a Beamish and in Pierce's bar... it was half the price that it was in Temple Bar.

We went all the way to Dublin to buy a really expensive Guinness for €10.40. We then went and found one of the cheapest pints of Guinness in Dublin, which was €5.40.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the train from the harbor to get into Dublin to save money compared to cruise excursions.
You can pay for train tickets with euros or debit/credit cards at the station machines.
Get off at Pearse Street station for the best access to Dublin.
Use the toilets at the train station before heading into the city.
