Nice little pocket travel guide to Dublin. Highlights the hallmarks of Dublin and the surrounding countryside.

Useful, practical, accurate -- that's enough for 3 stars. This was a very practical guidebook that fit inside my jacket pocket, so it was the guidebook I carried around with me in Dublin. I find these 8x4 inch guidebooks very useful for quick reference during the trip, but less useful for reading in advance. The Rick Steves guidebook helped me decide my must-see sights in Dublin, this one helped me find them.

I often buy this guidebook for trips to new cities, and usually read their top 10 lists (best history, best shopping, best local experience, best with kids, etc.) while planning to the trip. Honestly, their descriptions are so brief that it is hard to use them to plan, but they do sometimes suggest something everyone else skips. But once having decided to do something, this is a very useful guide for getting there, both because of the useful maps and because it has a commitment to providing a picture of everything to help you recognize it. And, reading a series of listicles on a place does stick in my mind enough for there to be several times when visiting, for example, the National Museums, that I realized one of the parks they mentioned was right across the street, or that I was passing a shop they recommended.

Somewhat helpful, but with fairly limited info. It makes for a good starting point, but kind of just gives you ideas to further research; it's definitely not terribly useful on its own. It's fairly well organized though, and includes top 10 lists not only for Dublin, but for other parts of the country as well.

When you want to visit Dublin and have no idea what to do, this is a nice book to have a look in.
I found some things I want to see when we are there. But I have visited Dublin before and I was hoping to find something new, something I didn't see before and would like to explore.
Didn't find that, it is more the usual sightseeing things in this book

The Top 10 series are really my favourite for travel. They give you the essential information in a presentable fashion and are just what you need if you are visiting somewhere or need to find out about a place quickly.

We're certainly not in "Lonely Planet" territory, but it's a suitably functional and informative quick-and-dirty guide to Dublin. If you want depth, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Good glimpse into the city of Dublin. Great recommendations and background in a portable format. I generally enjoy the Top 10 series.

Just your average guide book.
