About Dublin
Temple Bar sees thousands of merry punters descend its cobbled streets, while Wexden and Camden Streets offer a discernible edge of counterculture.
Step inside the Guinness Storehouse (Ireland’s biggest tourist attraction) and discover the origins of its coveted liquid gold. North of the Liffey River you’ll find locals sat in centuries-old traditional pubs, ready to spin a yarn should you order them a pint of Guinness.
Just as ‘Irish champagne’ runs through many a barside tap, Dublin overflows with history. Heritage is palpable in the stone walls of 800-year-old Dublin Castle, and the striking Christ Church Cathedral, with several famous Irish leaders buried in the crypts below.
Yet the best thing about Dublin may just be its people; made of the same stuff as world-famous authors and poets, Dubliners are blessed with the gift of the gab - keeping the romance of their fair old city alive and kicking within many a peeling pub wall.
Visiting Dublin, for many people, is a sort of pilgrimage: one that you’ll be making again and again.
