Dublin Like a Local: By the People Who Call It Home (Hardback or Cased Book)

Keen to explore a different side of Dublin?  Like a Local is the book for you.

This isn’t your ordinary travel guide. You won’t find Temple Bar and Trinity College in these pages, because that’s not where Dubliner’s hang out. Instead, you’ll meet the locals at secret basement dens holding after-hours poetry slams, buskers serenading kayakers along the Liffey, and seafood shacks plating up freshly caught oysters, and that’s where this book takes you.

Turn the pages to discover:

- The small businesses and community strongholds that add character to this vibrant city, recommended by true locals.
- 6 themed walking tours dedicated to specific experiences such as flea markets and movie theatres.
- A beautiful gift book for anyone seeking to explore Dublin.
- Helpful ‘what3word’ addresses, so you can pinpoint all the listed sights.

Compiled by proud locals, this stylish travel guide is packed with Dublin’s best experiences and hidden spots, handily categorized to suit your mood and needs.

Whether you’re a restless Dubliner on the hunt for a new hangout, or a visitor keen to discover a side you won’t find in traditional guidebooks, Dublin Like A Local will give you all the inspiration you need.
