You've probably heard that Guinness tastes better in Dublin (fresh from the factory), but what you may not know is that Dublin is a perfect destination for the whole family. No, we're not suggesting you let the kiddies drink a pint. Instead, take them to the Dublin Zoo, to feed the ducks in Stephen's Green or on a picnic in Phoenix Park. Scholars enjoy walking in the literary footsteps of such writers as Yeats and Joyce, while discerning shoppers have their pick of designer boutiques.

Nestled in the centre of Dublin is this seat of learning;home to the Book of Kells and the Long Room library as well as the other libraries that have every book ever published; tread the cobblestones of Front Square and follow the footsteps of celebrated academics, poets, scientists, and famous alumni ; take a stroll over to College Park and watch the cricket, rugby or other sports depending on the season; head over to the Pavilion and have refreshments overlooking the campus; go to visit the Book of Kells and then leave this separate world all the richer as you venture out into the city streets that beckon with a different allure.

Impressive. Imposing. Beautiful. Worth it! Due to time, we chose this one over St. Pat’s. I don’t feel gipped in any way. Beautiful architecture, well laid out descriptions, awesome crypt, beautiful grounds in the heart of the city of Dublin. If you’re there, worth a stop, for sure!

Dublin Castle was for 700 years the seat of British power in Ireland. Today you can still view the remains of the 13th century structure as part of the guided tour. The present Dublin Castle dates from the mid 1700's and today is used by the Irish Governemnt for state events such as the inauguration of the Irish President and state banquets for visiting dignatories. Amongst the highlights are the Ladies Drawing Room, the Throne Room and St. Patricks Hall.

We first came on a Historical Walking Tours (excellent!) but didn’t go in. We came back to take the tour. The guided tour was excellent and unlike the self guided tour takes you down to the Viking and Norman ruins which are fascinating. The chapel and the state apartments are really interesting to see. It’s a very good tour.
