Reasons to visit Dublin
Take a tour of Temple Bar
Once you’ve booked your plane tickets to Dublin, you can look forward to exploring one of Europe’s most iconic districts. Temple Bar houses a staggering selection of restaurants, galleries, boutiques and museums. It’s the lively, beating heart of the city and simply can’t be overlooked on a trip to Ireland’s capital.
The famous cobbled streets welcome everything from book markets to outdoor film screenings and most things in between. You can take part in photography classes or foodie tours – whatever takes your fancy. Whenever and wherever you visit, you’ll find a warm atmosphere.
Trinity College and the Book of Kells
Dublin’s acclaimed Trinity College university sits in the heart of the city and it’s here that you can see the Book of Kells. This ninth-century artefact documents the four Gospels of the life of Jesus and is considered one of the world’s most important medieval manuscripts.
Your tour also includes access to the Long Room. Housing more than a quarter of a million of the college’s oldest books, it’s one of the most beautiful libraries on the planet.
Explore Dublin's museums
The Irish capital is home to an array of fascinating museums. The National Museum hosts a range of exhibits encompassing everything from natural history to archaeology and the arts, along with regular photographic exhibitions.
For a taste of what life was like for prisoners in Dublin in the 19th century, take a tour of Kilmainham Gaol. Along with ordinary members of the public, the leaders of the Irish rebellions were imprisoned and, in some cases, executed here.
A tour guide will provide a unique insight into conditions inside the prison. Just be sure to book tickets in advance to avoid disappointment as the jail is one of Dublin’s most popular attractions.
