Dublin city is steeped in culture and heritage. A mix of old and modern architecture provides a backdrop to this friendly, bustling port that boasts literary giants such as Joyce, Beckett, Swift and Wilde as native sons. The fine Georgian area of the city, as typified by Merrion and Fitzwilliam Squares, lies only a short stroll from the historic Stephen’s Green.
At night, Dublin comes alive with everything from trendy cafe bars in Temple Bar to the more traditional Dublin pub. Other entertainment includes a selection of international dining, world-class theatre and festivals, concerts, jazz and comedy clubs and of course traditional Irish music.
