Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Dublin. Thought this isn't the usual side of the city the tourists, travellers and residents see. This is the real Dublin, the strange and twisted nooks and crannies of the city's bizarre history - past present and future. Dublin is a city with more strangeness than you can shake a pint of Guinness at. Home to two million people, the name, strangely, comes from the Irish 'Dubh Linn', which means Black Pool', but that name was already taken. This is a treasure trove of the hilarious, the odd and the baffling - an alternative travel guide to some of the city's best-kept secrets.
