About Dublin

Dublin, Irlands freundliche, literarische Hauptstadt an der Liffey: georgianische Plätze, historische Pubs, Livemusik und Erzählkunst.

Das Trinity College birgt das illuminierte Book of Kells und die himmelhohe Bibliothek der Long Room, während Dublin Castle, die Christ Church Cathedral und die St. Patrick's Cathedral die mittelalterliche und koloniale Vergangenheit der Stadt nachzeichnen. Georgianische Plätze wie der Merrion Square mit ihren bunt gestrichenen Türen und die grüne Weite von St Stephen's Green sorgen für elegante Ruhe.
