Dublin or Budapest??

[Mowbray]

I am going to book a 4 night stay at either Dublin or Budapest.  Has anyone stayed at either of these beautiful places?  If so what are the main attractions to see?

What would the temperature be in these places for August 1st?

Thanks.

Having lived in Dublin for 3 years I would find it hard to recommend it for a 4 day trip, there is actually not that much to see beyond Trinity College & the Guiness Factory. Two friends have been to Budapest recently and neither was overly impressed. Budapest was seriously damaged during the War and apparently a lot of it was rebuilt in the 1950's thus not leaving it with much of a historical feel. I personally would recommend Paris, Prague, Rome or Krakow.

Definitely Budapest. There's loads to see. Statue park outside the city (full of the old communist statues), Castle in Buda (great views of the city), thermal baths dotted around the city and all the jazz cafes!! I went mid sept and the weather was hot!

You should get there before the Bristish claim it as the next stag weekend destination.
