Dublin

Dublin, Ireland’s charismatic capital, is a city of literary legends, lively pubs, and warm hospitality. Its name comes from the Irish “Dubh Linn,” meaning “Black Pool,” and its rich history spans from Viking settlements to Georgian elegance. As a UNESCO City of Literature, it has inspired writers like James Joyce and Oscar Wilde, and it even boasts the world’s first literary pub crawl. With more than 750 pubs, a thriving music scene, and Phoenix Park—one of Europe’s largest enclosed city parks—Dublin is a place where history and culture come alive. We recommend visits to the Guinness Storehouse, Ireland’s iconic beer; The Irish Emigration Museum, sharing the history of the Irish diaspora and for music lovers a trip to Windmill Lane Studios where some of the best musicians in the world have recorded.
