DH has to go to Dublin for work next year and I'm trying to decide whether LO and I should accompany him and do our own thing during the day.

I don't know much about the area and it's never been on my must-see list, so just wondering what it is like there and if there will be enough to keep me and a 2yr old occupied for a few days. Happy to hire a car and take day trips further afield if there's plenty to see nearby.
