Great Itineraries: Dublin

A pub in The Temple Bar District

     Dublin, Ireland is one of the most charming cities that I have ever had the opportunity to visit.  The city is a collection of old churches, beautiful parks, and rambuncious taverns. If you enjoy architecture, then stroll through Trinity College and the adjacent Merrion Square to see the truly characteristic side of Dublin or if you adore history, then check out The Book of Kells at The Trinity College Library or see some incredible artifacts from Ireland's Celtic past at The National Museum.  Do not forget that Dublin is the home of Jameson Whiskey as well as the iconic Guinness Brewery.  These delicious libations have a way of fueling the jubilant atmosphere of those great pubs down in The Temple Bar District.  This is where you will see the most genuine side of the city.  The pubs are where you can meet and get to know the locals.  Enjoy a pint or two with them and you can gain a real sense of what Ireland is truly all about.
