City Highlights
Dublin is a city with bucketloads of character and friendly, engaging locals; Dublin people certainly make entertaining hosts, while the city itself is vibrant, fun and sociable. Considered a youthful city, due to its density of younger inhabitants, it is also flushed with history - Dublin Castle, built in 1204, is rich in Irish heritage, whereas 21st century architecture, such as Ian Ritchie's Monument of Light, has a contemporary vibe. Temple Bar is commonly known as the Cultural Quarter, brimming with street performers, music venues and cosy Irish pubs full to bursting. Here, you will also find good restaurants, many bars and pubs and traditional Irish folk music. The Guinness Storehouse remains a popular tourist attraction and details the company's history, recipes and advertising campaigns. There is also a bar with 360-degree views of Dublin and it is here you will receive your complimentary pint of Guinness, complete with a shamrock in its foam.
