Dublin offers its visitors a wealth of attractions to explore. These include churches, historic buildings, libraries, museums and galleries, parks and gardens. If your interests lean towards history, architecture or art, Dublin is certainly the place to be! It is a historical and contemporary cultural centre for the country and is rich in cultural heritage. A walk through the streets of Dublin will reveal many reminders from the past, including the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin containing the four Gospels of the New Testament and created by Celtic monks ca. 800 or slightly earlier. Dublin's glorious past is very much alive in the splendid Georgian architecture, magnificent medieval castles, and beautiful cathedrals.
Be sure to make time to socialize with the amiable and witty Dubliners, the greatest hosts of all. With a pub at every corner in every city, there's lots of opportunity! Each pub is unique. The decoration, the music and even the customers are different depending on the city and the location. The Brazen Head is Dublin's oldest pub dating back to 1198 and is recommended for nostalgic decor and a good pint of the famous Irish beer, Guinness, made in Dublin.
