About the destination

Dublin has served as the backdrop for numerous novels, which is hardly surprising given its rich literary history that dates back to 800 A.D. with The Book of Kells, currently on display at Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university. The city is the birthplace of many renowned authors including Joyce, Beckett, Yeats, Shawn, and Wilde, to name a few. Dublin's Georgian elegance seamlessly merges with its medieval and modern architecture, giving the city its unique character. It's undeniable that Dublin is a city steeped in culture; in fact, UNESCO named it the city of literature in 2010. Those who appreciate culture will be spoiled for choice with the city's museums and galleries. From the National Museum of Ireland and the National Library to the National Gallery and the charming Little Museum of Dublin, which houses the lectern used by US President JFK to address the National Parliament in 1963, there's plenty to explore. And let's not forget the impressive Dublin Castle, which dates back to the 13th century. But beyond its cultural and historical treasures, what truly sets Dublin apart are its people. Dubliners are friendly, warm, surprisingly outgoing, and witty, especially after a few pints of Guinness. With over 1000 pubs, it's easy to make friends in this city. It's practically a requirement for tourists to spend some time in a pub, as it's one of the most memorable experiences of a visit to Ireland. Dublin is also a youthful city, boasting one of the youngest populations in Europe, with about half of its residents believed to be under the age of 25. This has resulted in a city that's vibrant, dynamic, energetic, and ambitious. Dublin is teeming with trendy bars, upscale restaurants, and lively clubs, with the bustling Temple Bar area at its heart. Live music is practically a religion in Ireland, and Dublin is its holy city. The city's live music scene is exceptional and has produced numerous global music superstars, from U2 and Westlife to The Script and Sinead O’Connor. Everyone is welcome in this multicultural city, but be warned: Dublin, like its people, is so charismatic and captivating that you may never want to leave.
