Hi,
I will be in Dublin for 5 days, then back to Dublin for the final 2 days of our European vacation. Here is a list of the definite things we are going to see
O'Connell Bridge
Ha 'penny Bridge
Dublin Castle
Christ King Church
Trinity College
Book of Kells
National Museum
St Micha's church
St Patricks Cathedral
St. Stephen's Green Gardens
Are there any other attractions that are a must see?
Does anyone have any good restaurant recommendations? We are looking for restaurants in the 50 euros for a dinner for 2 people. We would like to have at least one traditional irish dinner. We also love seafood.

The Brazen Head pub near the temple bar district is quite yummy.

If you're interested in Irish history and folk tales you could consider the Food Folk Tales and fairies dinner they offer there. We did it and it was fabulous and the food was excellent. Try the bacon and cabbage.

i second going to the brazen head. it is in fact the oldest pub in the country, go to the bar in the back room. i've also enjoyed gallaghers boxty house for dinner in temple bar.
you can also go to the jameson's distillery.

Just got back from Ireland last night. The Guiness Storehouse was interesting and the view at the top in the Gravity Bar is great.

Also, a visit to the Kilmainham Jail is definitely worth a visit. You learn about a ton of Irish history and the struggle for freedom. Do the guided tour.

Another vote for Kilmainham Gaol, also the General Post Office if you are at all interested in the history.

Another vote for the Guiness Factory. Pretty intersting to see the old Guiness memorabelia.
