TOURIST OFFICES
Dublin's main tourist information centre is located in a renovated church on Suffolk street with branch offices at the airport and Dun Laoghaire ferry terminal.

The Temple Bar (www.temple-bar.ie) information centre provides a more arty perspective with the main emphasis on the Temple Bar neighbourhood. Alternatively, the USIT Travel Agency opposite O'Connell Bridge is a good source of information and is more geared toward the backpacker. Check out USIT's noticeboard if you're looking for work or more long-term accommodation.

Hot Press, In Dublin and the Dublin Event Guide are good sources of gig and event listings with broadsheet newspapers such as the Irish Times (www.ireland.com) and the Sunday Tribune providing cinema and theatre listings.
