About Dublin

Dublin er Irlands vennlige, litterære hovedstad ved Liffey, med georgianske plasser, historiske puber, levende musikk og en gave for fortellinger.

Trinity College rommer det illuminerte Book of Kells og det høye biblioteket Long Room, mens Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral og St Patrick's Cathedral følger byens middelalderske og koloniale fortid. Georgianske plasser som Merrion Square, med sine fargerikt malte dører, og det grønne området St Stephen's Green gir elegant ro.
