    Dublin is one of my favourite cities. You were certainly brave spending the night with nowhere to sleep. ❤

    For Airport to city centre you can actually get a bus as cheap as €2 each way, you need to get the 16 or 41 bus, you to buy a leap card for that fare, otherwise it is €3.30 each way (coins only)

    Just got to say I'm really enjoying your videos. I started watching after planning a couple of days in Poland next month and then this caught my eye after knowing how expensive it is in Ireland. You have great production and they're really informative.

    Bit late to the journey, but here would have been some great tips to maximise your 50 euro budget.
    1) Bus 16 or 42 to city center, less than 3 euro each way
    2) Entertainment or museums: check out the National Gallery which is free of charge, you can kill a couple of hours if you are into art. Theres also stephens green nearby to visit, trinity college (not the book of kells), so plenty of outdoor stuff!
    3) Food for lunch: chicken fillet rolls! they are like less than a fiver depending where you go, mind you these days, prices have gone up as usual.
    4) Coffee: you can get a barista made coffee for 2 euro at the heartbreak social club! Drury street is also quite fun to walk by
    5) pints: there are certain spots in the city which have cheap pints, but need to know where to go! The auld triangle north inner city (totally reachable by walk) are like 4.50 (cash only) - if you take 2 that would have made up your bus journey, and you get to sip two amazing guinness for 9 euro.
    if you have the leap card (buy for 5 euro) why not go mad and go to the forty foot and go for a free swim (youd have to pay travel on the dart ) so that would be less than a fiver. You have to be into cold swimming though!
    Count about 15 euro for total travel if you go to the forty foot, 9 euro for two good guinness, thats 24 euro for the moment. leaving you 26 to maybe enjoy on a nice soup and a sandwich at a pub and a bit more money for whatever you fancy! If you take away the coffee and a roll that leaves you somewhere around 17-18 euros.
    I do recommend going in Like June or something when the weather is warmer!

    Hi Ben. Scary night. Bet you were glad to get home......Dublin is expensive and can be dangerous at night. €50 for 24 hrs, including accommodation.....not a hope. I'm glad you got home safely, and I hope that you return soon, but with more money!!! 😊

      Oslo & Bergen, 3 nights in each. The train itself was £90 between the 2 cities (but worth it for the scenery)

      Yes Norway hugely expensive ! I need a small tube of voltarol from the chemist. £27 😮 A bowl of soup was £17. Thankfully my expenses were paid as I was away on a work trip, but too expensive to go for a holiday !
