Dublin
- the capital of Ireland and one of Europe's most vibrant
cities. The whole region is buzzing, riding high on the
crest of an economic boom and its effects are to be seen
everywhere, from the frantic night life to a skyline filled
with cranes.
Home to over a quarter of the Ireland's population, almost
one million in all, Dublin is a youthful, vibrant and
dynamic city with an ever-increasing cosmopolitan influence.
Chic
restaurants and ultra-modern hotels have brought the city
centre back to life. Temple Bar needs no introduction
and the older icons such as Trinity College, Merrion Square
and the National Museum are all enjoying the benefits
of Dublin's new status as a year-round tourist destination.
If the pace is just too much, escape to the hills of Howth,
the Dalkey headland or the majestic Wicklow Mountains.
