Dublin on a budgetShowHide
A day in Dublin costs £39.50 per person on the ground on a budget, before the flight, eating and drinking at the cheaper end of what places charge. At typical prices it is £47.66, and a day that does not watch the pennies runs to £67.11. The food and drink prices are real menu prices we read in Dublin on 21 Oct and 26 Oct, turned into pounds at the day's exchange rate, not guesses.
