Why visit Dublin

Dublin squeezes a millennium of literature, rebellion and Guinness into a walkable riverside centre. Trinity College’s Book of Kells, Dublin Castle and Kilmainham Gaol tell the story; Temple Bar’s pubs and the Liberties’ cobbled lanes tell the other half. The coast is close - Howth’s cliff walk and the DART trains to seaside villages are 30 minutes out.
