Dublin Castle
Dublin Castle is the main government building. It was built by order of King John the Landless after the Norman attack. Today, conferences and meetings of important people are held in Dublin Castle. When there are no government meetings in the castle, it is open to tourists.
Jameson Distillery Museum
A visit to Dublin cannot be imagined without a visit to the holy of holies of the capital of the country and the whole of Ireland – the museum-distillery Old Jameson Distillery. Since 1780, the national drink of the Irish has been produced here – whiskey of one of the most famous brands in the world.
Guinness Brewery
Today, everyone who finds himself in Dublin is simply obliged to visit the Guinness Brewery Museum. The legendary beer begins its history back in 1752. Then the unknown Arthur Guinness inherited 200 pounds. In his joy, of course, he spent this money on booze. But he did it as reasonably as possible — he rented a brewery.
St. Patrick’s Cathedral
St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the largest cathedral not only in Dublin, but in the whole of Ireland. Its famous abbot was the writer Jonathan Swift, known all over the world for his work “Gulliver’s Travels”.
Cathedral of Christ in Dublin
The main cathedral of Dublin, the Cathedral of Christ can boast of exceptional age: it was founded already in 1031. Christ’s Cathedral is revered as its patrimony by both Dublin archbishops – Catholic and Anglican.
Temple Bar
Temple Bar is the most “nocturnal” area of Dublin. A small but moderately dense crowd is constantly moving through the streets here. And all because this place is favored by local youth for the presence of pubs, bars, pubs, restaurants and nightclubs. No wonder tourists can’t get around Temple Bar either!
The Dublin Needle
The architectural dominant of Dublin, the Dublin Needle monument is visible, perhaps, from anywhere in the city. The design is exceptionally simple – a steel spire rising to a height of 121 meters, gradually tapering.
Dublin Botanic Gardens
The magnificent Dublin Botanical Garden occupies an impressive territory of 25 hectares in the heart of the Irish capital. The “green Heart of Dublin”, as the locals lovingly call it, boasts twenty thousand different plants from all over the world.
University of Dublin
The University of Dublin is the oldest institution of higher education in Ireland. It belongs to a group of universities under the unofficial name “ancient universities”, which also includes Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England and four universities in Scotland.
National Maritime Museum of Ireland
The National Maritime Museum of Ireland is a detailed testimony to the rich history of navigation and maritime commerce of the country. The museum occupies the premises of the ancient Church of St. Michael.
