Dublin, pubs, culture and wild coastlines
Dublin has the charm of a capital built on a human scale. You stroll along the Liffey, past Georgian facades, bookshops and pubs where traditional music fills the evenings.
Start at Trinity College and its old library, then the castle, St Patrick's Cathedral and Temple Bar. The Guinness Storehouse also draws plenty of visitors.
Dublin is a gateway to the west of Ireland. The trip to the Cliffs of Moher follows the Wild Atlantic Way and stops in Galway, for a day facing the Atlantic.
