Product Description
Designed to be tough and immensely practical the Rough Guide Maps provide travel information, and the city's sights, monuments and attractions. The maps show every shop, restaurant, bar and hotel in the Rough Guide travel guide to the city together with their opening times and, in many cases, phone numbers. Each map covers the main area of the city on one side and an enlarged city centre map on the reverse.

When to visit
Dublin's warmest months are usually July and August, which are also often the wettest. However, no month is especially hot or cold, and though the climate of Ireland is often damp, this shouldn't be a determining factor in arranging your trip. Obviously the summer is the most popular time, so if you're planning a visit then, you should make sure you've got your accommodation sorted out well before you go - and whatever time you visit, if your stay is going to straddle a weekend, book your room in advance. Before making your decision, you should take a look at the city's calendar of festivals and special events, which range from the parades of St Patrick's Day and the meanderings of Bloomsday (June 16) to blues in Temple Bar in July and the All-Ireland Hurling final in September.
