About Dublin

Dublin är Irlands vänliga, litterära huvudstad vid floden Liffey, en stad av georgianska torg, historiska pubar, livemusik och en gåva för berättande.

Trinity College rymmer den illuminerade Book of Kells och det höga biblioteket Long Room, medan Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral och St Patrick's Cathedral följer stadens medeltida och koloniala förflutna. Georgianska torg som Merrion Square, med sina klarfärgade dörrar, och den gröna ytan St Stephen's Green ger elegant lugn.
