"Rumous include: small village mentality in a metropolis, the obsession with stout (Guinness standard-checking vans genuinely dart about the city on a daily basis spot-checking the pubs), the touristy overcrowding of Temple Bar, the rain, the enthusiasm for spinning a good yarn, and yes, the most popular tourist attraction being the Guinness Storehouse (and rightly so, it's an excellent experience)."
"But we can add another layer on to all of that now - this is a modern, thriving, Europe-facing metropolis of modern gastronomy, artisanal cafes, independent traders, brilliant shopping, stunning surrounding countryside, and a fantastic line in culture and nightlife. But where you have such a ram-packed city with everything - from graveyard tours to the Book of Kells experience at Trinity College - you're going to need somewhere to rest your stout-soaked head."
