Destination Guide: Major Cities and Counties of Ireland

Dublin

Dublin, Ireland's capital city, is one of Europe's oldest capitals, steeped in history, rich in cultural and literary tradition. Medieval, Georgian and modern architecture provides a backdrop to a bustling port where the charming cosmopolitan converge in a delightful diversity.

Dublin is a thriving centre for culture and is home to a great literary tradition-its native sons include Shaw, Yeats, Joyce and Beckett. There is an interest in literature and writing among people living and visiting Dublin today, from the James Joyce Tower in Sandy-cove to the Dublin Writers Museum. Fine museums and art galleries (including Ireland's National Gallery) chronicle its long and colorful heritage.

Dublin is also a musical city, proud of its internationally known native musicians such as U2. The pubs are full of traditional music and live popular music is easy to find on any night of the week. There are also plenty of events on in Dublin throughout the year such as concerts, festivals, exhibitions and sporting fixtures.

Within half an hour of the city centre, there are mountain walks, stately homes and gardens, sandy beaches and fishing villages.

Dublin offers spectacular scenery, a relaxed pace of life and a distinct cultural character, but the real appeal of Dublin is her people. Their courtesy, wit and hospitality will captivate you and draw you back year after year.
