The cobbled riverside quarter of painted pubs, live music and stag parties — the loudest, most touristy, most expensive corner of Dublin, and undeniably fun for a night or two. Central to everything and never dull; light sleepers and budget-watchers should stay a street or two back.

- 3.Temple Bar & a trad session — Yes it's touristy and yes a pint costs a fortune — but a night in the cobbled lanes of Temple Bar, ducking into a snug for live fiddle-and-bodhrán trad music, is a Dublin rite of passage. Do it once, then find the cheaper, better sessions the locals use nearby.
