Q. Do I need to get Irish currency? A. Many places will accept sterling, but it's sensible to get Euros before you go because you should get a better exchange deal and you won't waste time looking for a bank or bureau de change when you arrive. Q. Do I need to take my passport? A. British citizens do not need a passport, but may need some form of ID to get currency. Q. Can I stock up on duty-frees on the ferry? A. Not any more, but duty-paid items can still be bargains. Q. Where could I go for a day trip from Dublin? A. Hop on the DART train to travel out along Dublin Bay, north to Howth and Malahide or south to Bray and Killiney; take a coach trip to the Wicklow Mountains and Ballykissangel Country Q. How should I get around the city? A. Much of it is manageable on foot, but for longer distances within Dublin buses are cheap, taxis aren't bad, the tourist buses with commentary are excellent and, for novelty value, you could try a horse and carriage ride. Hire a bike if you can face the traffic. Q. Where are the tourist information offices? A. The main one is in a converted church in Suffolk Street. There's another at Baggot Street Bridge, and you will also find them at Dun Laoghaire and Dublin Port ferry terminals and the airport. Q. Can you recommend any good websites for Dublin?
