Presume it's Dublin if only 3 days. You just HAVE to get on the top of the 'Tourist/Sight Seeing Bus' first thing. It's a must. You will then be able to pick and choose what you want to see. Also just across the Bridge from O' Connell St. is Temple Bar area. Very lively and colourful place. Lots of pubs and music.

dublin city itself doesn't have alot of historical landmarks anymore. there is ONE district that they are kind of isolated to. alot of the rest of the city was damaged/destroyed in their civil war which was around the same time as the 1st world war. still, check out the Temple Bar area. Or you may want to find a pub called Porterhouse. Nice atmosphere, great beer. Michael Collins' favorite beer is sold there, called Wrasslers. there are about 7 malls in the downtown area, so i hope you like shopping.

I was going to say check out Temple Bar, but you're covered I see! I'd recommend going to see the Book of Kells in Trinity College, in the city centre. Enjoy your stay.

I've never personally been to Dublin, But this site seemed to have a decent list of things to do. They rang in things, such as Bars, Colleges and Castles.
Hope you have fun!
