See & Do in Dublin
 What
are you looking for? A young, lively city with a vibrant nightlife?
A glimpse of an ancient civilisation?
A cultural feast, a musical odyssey? Stunning scenery, a spectacular
coastline? Well, you’ve come to the right place.
Dublin is a musical city, proud of its internationally known
native musicians. The Chieftains, U2, Sinead O’Connor,
Boyzone and Westlife all sprang from a long tradition of song
and music-making. The pubs
are full of traditional music, and live popular music is easy
to find on any night of the week. Check out our Events pages
to see what’s happening during your visit.
“The lure of Dublin is so magical and the attractions
endless that you are sure to find yourself planning a
return trip before the end of your stay”

 For
the culture vulture too, Dublin delivers the goods. Fine museums,
art galleries and historic buildings (links ?) chronicle the
city’s long and colourful heritage. Interpretation ranges
from the traditional to the state-of-the-art, with new technology
making the collections fun for the younger visitor too.
If sport’s
your thing, and you think you might have the luck of the Irish,
you may decide to go to the races at Leopardstown, test your
handicap on one of Dublin’s many golf courses, or experience
Gaelic football and hurling, our National sports, in their
spiritual home, Croke Park.
 The
legacy of Swift, Shaw, Yeats, Joyce and Beckett is a city
full of literary landmarks, from the James Joyce Tower in
Sandycove, where the opening sequence of Ulysses is set, to
Trinity College, alma mater of many of Ireland’s greatest
writers; and a thriving interest in literature and writing
among people living in the city today.
Then there’s the ‘craic’, the good times,
usually partaken of in one or more of the city’s thousand
pubs, but craic can
be generated anywhere – in a restaurant, café,
or nightclub. Craic is just good-natured chit-chat, amateur
philosophy, playful banter, usually helped along by a few
pints of whatever you’re having yourself.
 Seaside
villages of Howth and Balbriggan to the North, Sandycove,
Killiney and Dalkey to the South, are but a DART ride a way.
The Dublin Mountains frame any vista to the southwest and
are as close as they look. The scramble to a summit is worth
every step when you are met with the breathtaking view of
Dublin bay and beyond.
