The Monument Of Light’s affectionate name is the “Stiffy In The Liffey” 😂
I think what tourists should know visiting Dublin (and the Dublin Tourist agency would hate me saying this because they want to improve the area) is that the North Inner City past the end of O’Connell Street is not like the city centre, even though it’s close by. It’s definitely improving but it’s kinda like Downtown LA -a quite dodgy area right next to the CBD that unwitting tourists could be surprised by.
The functional part of the city centre is on the South Side and at the docks, barring a few areas. The North Inner City on the other hand is an area that developers have avoided until very recently, so be prepared for an experience that’s full of different recently arrived cultures, massage parlors, lap-dance clubs and a local inner city population that’s authentically “inner city”.
It’s definitely an experience but one you have to be prepared for. Definitely do not stay in a hostel there because the room you stay in will be full of new migrants, not backpackers -who I’m very glad are here and trying to start better lives, but are basically living there semi-permanently. I’ve met several backpackers in other European countries who didn’t like Dublin because they made that mistake.
Dublin overall has a very suburban culture and it’s basically a conurbation of hundreds of little towns and villages. It’s only relatively recently that middle class and wealthy people have started moving back into the city and that shows in places.
If you want a truly authentic experience of the city, taking the Dart from Dun Laoghaire to Howth is a really beautiful and easy way to see the coastal suburbs and get a view of the place that tourists normally don’t see. Howth, in particular, is spectacular.
And I’d say in summary (even though this comment is already far too long) that Dublin for the past 30 years has been like visiting a construction site and it will continue to be like that for some time. It definitely doesn’t appear finished and ordered like other capital cities in Europe which monarchs planned. It’s a work in progress and people will either love that or hate it. I love it, hence why I moved here but it’s a tough sell if you’re an American or Canadian tourist expecting a quaint European city on your trip to Ireland. It’s busy, unequal, constantly changing and good and bad areas are often only a street or two away from each other.
Oh and I’d also recommend visiting in the summer not the winter. Do not underestimate how cold 7 degrees Celsius can feel when it’s humid, windy and the sun sets a 4pm.

Exclusively referring to it as the Stiffy in the Liffey from here on out

[@gallowglass2630]

The Irish language may not be spoken by many but it is still the countries native language don't see why any one would be surprised that its on our public signs or that its an official language.The intention of the founding fathers was to revive the language to the extent that was the main language,unfortunately thats a way off ,but doesn't change the fact that its a worthwhile national aspiration.

[@asenseoftravel]

I do hope that aspiration becomes a reality for Ireland! Preserving the language preserves so much of the cultural heritage.

[@jgg59]

Gaeilge/Irish there is a significant rise amongst young people speaking the language there are pop-up Gaeltacht throughout Dublin. Where everyone is speaking Irish. This is significant because technology is actually helping the Irish regain their language. It’s taken 100 years for the Irish start decolonizing their minds.

[@asenseoftravel]

This is great to hear! It's great to see younger generations embracing their ancestral language. There's a similar resurgence in Hawaii!

[@kevindevane6175]

Gaelic is mandatory through High school.

[@asenseoftravel]

Oh, interesting! I'm glad it's still being taught

[@jgg59]

Trinity College library is an actual working library

[@gallowglass2630]

Cricket it is not popular at all in ireland ,its more popular indublin but the Main sports are Gaelic football,Football/soccer ,hurling and rugby.They are quite a few indian expats in dublin and they may have a word in the barmans ear to put it ,but locals wouldn't be interested.

13:16 - St. Patrick's Cathedral is Protestant, not Catholic, even though it was originally Catholic before there Reformation,

[@asenseoftravel]

Interesting! Thanks for the info. I always default to Catholic when I hear "Saint" in general, but I'll have to dig for more accuracy in the future

[@gallowglass2630]

St patricks cathedral is not a catholic cathedral its a protestant cathedral

[@asenseoftravel]

Interesting! I wouldn't have guessed that

[@jgg59]

@@asenseoftravel it was Catholic as all cathedrals were in Ireland until Henry the 8th
