As I begin planning a trip for 2004, I'm curious if the Dublin "tourist attractions" are open on Saturday afternoons and Sundays during May. BTW-attractions don't include shopping--but would include the Book of Kells, St. Pat's, perhaps Dublin castle, etc. We'll only have 1 1/2 days to do the town before setting out to the countryside. Advice appreciated!

Hi,

www.visitdublin.com has all of the information you are seeking.

Thanks Karen. The site is a big help.

James you'll also find that most major tourist attractions have their own websites with the information you need

Apart from those attractions, which are all chargeable, don't miss the excellent collection at Chester Beatty, now at its new home within Dublin Castle precinct. Good display of asian artefacts, and early manuscripts including papyrus fragments of the gospels from 2nd century. Free admission and usually free of crowds as well.
