Dublin, a small, charming capital with a big heart
The capital of Ireland, Dublin is a small city with a huge personality, full of history, culture and rich literary tradition, known for its welcoming atmosphere and wonderful landscapes and attractions. The city has one foot firmly rooted in its glorious past and the other foot in the 21st century. The stone streets and old buildings of central Dublin are still filled with the history of the city, while the Docklands area shines with trendy restaurants, trendy bars and fancy glass buildings. The birthplace of Oscar Wilde, J. Bernard Shaw and Samuel Beckett, has something to offer everyone.
