Dublin can trace its origins back over 1,000 years. From a small Viking settlement it has evolved into one of the most vibrant capitals in the world. A city rich in cultural heritage, by walking the streets of Dublin you will see the many reminders from our past, from the beautifully illuminated Book of Kells dating from 800 AD, to our splendid Georgian architecture, magnificent medieval castles and fine cathedrals. For those interested in History, Architecture or Art or for those who would just like to experience a slice of history, Dublin is Truly the place to be!
