Attractions:
Trinity College
Trinity College is Ireland's oldest university. It was founded by Queen Elizabeth I in 1592. Due to its picturesque setting and the famous people connected with it - Oscar Wilde studied here - Trinity College is one of the city's main tourist attractions. The Trinity library harbours the world's most famous early medieval manuscript, the Book of Kells. Trinity's campus is located in the centre of Dublin and its impressive 47 acres feature cricket and rugby pitches, as well as tennis courts.

Dublin City Gallery – the Hugh Lane
Whatever reputation Dublin has as a repository of world-class art has a lot to do with the simply stunning collection at this exquisite gallery, which is housed in the equally impressive Charlemont House. The Hugh Lane houses the foremost public collection of contemporary art in Ireland and also has dynamic temporary exhibitions. It also houses the reconstructed studio of Francis Bacon.
Chester Beatty Library
This world-famous library in the grounds of Dublin Castle houses the collection of mining engineer Sir Alfred Chester Beatty (1875–1968), bequeathed to the Irish State on his death. Described by Lonely Planet as ‘not just the best museum in Ireland but one of the best in Europe’, the Chester Beatty is the pre-eminent Irish museum promoting the appreciation and understanding of world cultures with holdings of manuscripts, rare books, and other treasures from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia.
National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology
Established in 1877 as the primary repository of the nation's cultural and archaeological treasures, this is the country's most important museum. Discover gold, bog bodies, ceramics, glass, Viking artefacts as well many other archaeological objects found in Ireland and around the world.

National Gallery
A magnificent Caravaggio and a breathtaking collection of works by Jack B Yeats – William Butler's younger brother – are the main reasons to visit the National Gallery, but not the only ones. The Gallery boasts a rich and varied programme of world class exhibitions throughout the year and admission is free.

Kilmainham Gaol 
If you have any desire to understand Irish history – especially the long-running resistance to British rule – then a visit to this former prison is an absolute must. Many members of the Irish Republican movement during the Anglo-Irish War (1919-21) were detained in Kilmainham Gaol, guarded by British troops.

Dublin Castle
Despite its hotchpotch appearance, Dublin Castle was the stronghold of British power in Ireland for more than 700 years, beginning with the Anglo-Norman fortress commissioned by King John in 1204. Over the centuries, those entertained at Dublin Castle have included Benjamin Franklin, the Duke of Wellington, Daniel O’Connell. Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens, Princess Grace of Monaco, John F. Kennedy, Charles de Gaulle, Nelson Mandela and Queen Elizabeth II.
Christ Church Cathedral
Its hilltop location and eye-catching flying buttresses make this the most photogenic of Dublin's cathedrals. The earliest manuscript dates Christ Church Cathedral to its present location around 1030. Dúnán, the first bishop of Dublin and Sitriuc, Norse King of Dublin, founded the original Viking church.

St Patrick's Cathedral
Ireland's largest church and the final resting place of Jonathan Swift, St Patrick's stands on the spot where St Patrick himself reputedly baptised the local Celtic chieftains in the fifth century. As the largest cathedral and one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Ireland, Saint Patrick’s has been at the heart of Dublin and Ireland’s history and culture for over 800 years.

Museum of Natural History
Affectionately known as the 'Dead Zoo', this dusty, weird and utterly compelling museum is a fine example of the scientific wonderment of the Victorian age. Discover the natural world through lifelike zoological models, geological samples and engaging activity areas.
