A young, vibrant city, Dublin ranks among the top tourist destinations in Europe, and for good reason. While a noteworthy capital city with a strong sense of history and culture, it is at the same time down-to-earth and friendly. Whole areas of the city, like Temple Bar, buzz with energy and creativity. As the Irish would say, Dublin is full of the “craic” - good times, liveliness, and style.

Dublin is the largest city in Ireland and the capital of the Republic of Ireland. It is located near the midpoint of Ireland's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey and at the centre of the Dublin Region. Founded as a Viking settlement, the city has been Ireland's primary city for most of the island's history since mediæval times. Today, it is an economic and cultural centre for the island of Ireland, and has one of the fastest growing populations of any European capital city.
