The best time to visit Dublin is in late spring and early autumn. These months offer the best combination of smaller crowds but better weather. The warmest days arrive in June, July and August, but these months tend to bring huge crowds of visitors and English-language students. Language: The spoken language in Dublin is English, with a lot of local Irish words and expressions thrown in. Currency: The currency used in Dublin is the Euro. International credit cards are also widely accepted, but it is a good idea to have some cash on hand — particularly if you plan to take Dublin Bus, which only accepts exact change in coins. Getting Around: The best way to get around Dublin is to walk. The city is small enough that most of the major sites and best places to eat can be reached within 15 minutes on foot, so renting a car is usually more trouble than it is worth. Things to Do: Dublin Castle: book ahead to visit the richly decorated State Apartments, or stop by to admire the 13th century towers and beautiful gardens. The Guinness Storehouse: visit the birthplace of Ireland’s favorite beer, learn how to pour a perfect pint(品脱), and enjoy a drink overlooking the rooftops of Dublin in the Gravity Bar. Of course, it is possible to visit Dublin without drinking, but it would be a missed opportunity to try some of the local favorites. Culture and Customs: Visitors will probably recognize many of the customs in Dublin as familiar, but there are a few differences between what is polite in Ireland versus the US. Tipping, for instance, is almost never done at a pub (unless you are telling the barman to keep the change), and most restaurants add a tip automatically as part of a service charge. But you are free to tip your tour guide. 1. What do we know about the best time to visit Dublin from the text? A. T
