Dublin and the Midlands

Straddling the River Liffey, Dublin is Ireland’s vibrant capital city, where old and new sit side by side and its people are infectiously warm-humoured. Wonder at the sixth-century Book of Kells in Trinity College, follow in James Joyce’s literary footsteps and try Guinness in its birthplace. Out of town the beautiful Wicklow Mountains and some of Europe’s most important prehistoric sites await.
