Dublin drags on from the first step: the city of sea and music, where the comfort of coffee shops coexists with a lively street scene. The name comes from the Irish Dubhlinn — “black pond”, and this is only the first of its little secrets.
The route “Emerald Capital: Dublin in a day” leads from the treasures of knowledge to the tastes of the city. Start at Trinity College's Old Library: the silence of the Long Hall and the illuminated pages of the Book of Kells set the tone. For a respite - espresso at Il Caffé di Napoli, and in a few minutes - the National Gallery of Ireland with a selection of European paintings. Next, the greenery of Merrion Square and St. Stephens Green parks and the music of street performers on Grafton Street.
After the Marsh Library, head to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where Jonathan Swift served. And then to the Guinness Storehouse: Arthur Guinness is said to have leased the brewery for nine thousand years. In contrast, Dublin Castle and the Chester Beatty Library.
The evening will present the colorful Temple Bar, the Halfpenny Bridge and the bookish atmosphere of The Winding Stair. If you're interested in history, check out the Main Post Office on O'Connell Street, and art awaits at the Hugh Lane Gallery. The finish is a hearty dinner at Kingfisher. The route is compact, so comfortable shoes and a little curiosity are all you need to make Dublin open to you.
