Being half Irish, as you can imagine, I have been over to Ireland many a time from when I was a baby. Our main stop was always in Dublin, a wonderfully lively place especially suited to young people where there is plenty of nightlife and great shopping. The locals are great - very friendly and always jolly and singing in the pubs. You'll find the atmosphere in any drinking establishment full of fun, and crazy Irish folk!
Apart from shopping during the day, remember that Dublin is right by the sea. If you head towards Black Rock from Dublin City Centre you will pass by The Strand...here is the sea and when the tide is out you can walk out miles! If you're into doing something relaxing and are feeling energetic do go here...it's very calming. But watch out for the tide - it comes in really fast and if you're not careful and not keeping your wits about you you'll find yourself being surrounded by fast-rising water! This stretch of beach has always been a place I visit whenever I am over in Ireland...there is nothing better than spending a couple of hours staying by the sea, even the cold Irish Sea! You might even be witness to some crazy person taking a swim, but i wouldn't advise you do :)
Friends I have invited over to Dublin for a short-break over the past few years have all vowed to return - they have found it an incredibly friendly city to visit with plenty to do, and I am sure you will too!
