Testing Tiny Tourism: Dublin Beyond the Big Sights

A BBC travel writer tests the Tiny Tourism idea—skipping mass-tourist sights to focus on everyday, local experiences in Dublin, from supermarket aisles to thrift shops and chats with locals, including sea swimming and a rare pub visit. The trip yields authentic moments and insights into how places live beyond iconic attractions, but ultimately leaves the writer hungry for main sights, suggesting Tiny Tourism works best as a prompt for different engagement rather than a full replacement (with a nod to a middle ground called 'Medium Tourism').
