http://www.tcd.ie/
Dublin is one of Europe's favourite spots to visit. The cultural scene
is incredibly rich, with an abundance of galleries, many of which are
free to visit, a thriving theatre scene, and great gigs to go to every
night. During summer there are lots of gigs and comedy festivals
outdoors in places like Dublin Castle, Marlay Park and the Iveagh
Gardens.
Dublin is rich in attractions such as the Castle, Christchurch
Cathedral, Saint Patrick's Cathedral, and Trinity College.
Trinity College was founded in 1592. Despite its location in today's
centre of a capital city and its being one of the most significant
tourist attractions in Dublin, the campus retains a tranquil
collegiate atmosphere. The library building hosts the prestigious
Long Hall and the Book of Kells, a handwritten manuscript from the
800s, and Brian Boru's Harp, dated from the 14th or 15th century,
which has become a national symbol of Ireland.
