Then there’s the other type who couldn’t care less about the famous sights, who’s idea of hell is the book of kells…The first is well catered to but the second now has a holiday guide etched especially for them. It’s called the Citizens Guide and it’s a travel guide aimed at the anti-tourist.
According to this site - The Paris Guide doesn’t mention the Louvre and The New York guidebook snubs the Statue of Liberty. One Irish city is noted for it’s rows of semi-detached houses, pasty women in woeful pink sportswear and pubs where most of the population lives.
These guides written by locals will appeal to those who favour realism Ireland over Tourism Ireland.
