Dublin

Explore Dublin’s literary history at the Dublin Writers Museum in Parnell Square, chart the history of one of Ireland’s most influential and celebrated writers at the James Joyce Centre, and visit the Old Library at Trinity College which houses the ninth-century Book of Kells, perhaps Ireland’s most famous piece of literature.

Dublin’s Temple Bar district is also known as the Cultural Quarter so treat yourself to lunch in one of the many bars and restaurants, shop until you drop in the trendy independent fashion shops and stroll around the vibrant outdoor markets. Afterwards, walk along the banks of the famous River Liffey which runs through the heart of the city. At St Stephen’s Green you can visit one of the most charming attractions in the city – the Little Museum of Dublin. It’s both eccentric and delightful, packed with treasures donated by ordinary Dubliners, and charts the cultural and social history of Dublin over the past century – from George Bernard Shaw to U2 and much more in between.
