About Dublin
Dublin has recently become one of Europe’s hotspots to visit. Due to the economic boom of Ireland, the capital of this picturesque country has regained its confidence and transformed in a modern vibrant city while preserving its cultural heritage and traditional charms. Acknowledged for its importance in world literature and arts throughout history, the city is still synonymous for music, arts and cultural progression.
Situated on the east coast of Ireland in the centre of Dublin Bay, the city is split by the River Liffey. North of the river, the most important places for visitors are O’Connel St. with its shopping district and Gardiner Street, where most hostels and Bed & Breakfast places are located. South of the river you will find the historical city centre with the Temple Bar district, the cultural quarter with its numerous pubs, restaurants and art galleries. Also the historical Trinity College and the exclusive Grafton Street are located here.

Visitors going to Dublin mostly arrive by plane or boat. Dublin Airport is located 10km (6 mi.) from downtown and special buses provide a good means of transport to get into the city. Coming by ferry from Britain or France, the seaport terminals have good public transport connections into the city centre. Inside the city, the green double-deckers provide a charming way to explore the city, while most part of the historical centre can be done by foot as well. Taxis are expensive and it might be hard to get one, especially after closing time of the pubs. Although it is hardly worth driving in central Dublin, a car can come in handy when exploring the countryside.
