Dublin is the eccentric uncle who gets sloshed on Baileys during Christmas dinner and entertains with tales of leprechauns and fabled meetings with literary greats. He is wild and peculiar, but utterly charming and lovable.
With its outlandish folklore, imposing castles, Georgian architecture, old libraries, purring cobbled streets, unique beaches, literary history, friendly locals, and over 1000 pubs, it is not difficult to fall in love with this iconic Irish city.
Take a stroll through Phoenix Park, the largest city park in Europe; fawn over artwork by Vincent van Gogh at the National Gallery of Ireland; chase history at Dublin Castle; or duck into the Brazen Head, a bar that was founded in 1198, for an afternoon pint.
For a glimpse into the more obscure side of Dublin, visit the Kilmainham Gaol, an infamous prison; pay a visit to the 800-year-old mummies of St. Michan’s; or be captivated by the enigmatic Freemasons’ Lodge.
Magic and merriment awaits in Dublin.
