BAILE ATHA CLIATH

This is where I lived and worked for almost two years!
The official Irish name of Dublin is Baile Atha Cliath.

Christchurch - Dublin

Christchurch

Dublin itself doesn't offer too much, in a sense of important sites, and you can manage to reach on foot all the important sites in the city centre, such as: Trinity College, Christ Church and St. Patrick's Cathedral, Grafton Street Area, Merrion Square, The Castle....
In Trinity College you can visit the exhibition of ancient Irish texts, where you can find the famous Book of Kells among other important documents.

The Oliver St.John Gogarty Pub in Temple Bar

Don't miss Temple Bar, the cultural quarter of the city, where you'll find a charming maze of cobblestone streets, restaurants, bars, galleries and theatres.

... If you have a chance, don't miss out the opportunity to go out of Dublin to see some countryside!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:enchanting live music in Temple Bar
  • Cons:too many "soft" rainy days ... whatever the season!
  • In a nutshell:... sitting on a bench, reading Basquiat in Trinity College ...
