About Dublin
Dublin is the capital and largest city in Ireland. It is situated near the midpoint of Ireland's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey. Founded as a centre of Viking settlement, the city has been Ireland's capital since medieval times. It was the largest Viking settlement outside of Scandinavia. Ever since then, Dublin has suffered many wars and conflicts.
In early 20th century Dublin finally established its own identity. Today Dublin is a modern, cosmopolitan city where tradition and cultural heritage have merged over the centuries to create an atmosphere unique to Dublin.
Places of interest in Dublin are the Malahide Castle, a beautifully restored residence with distinctive elegance and charm set on 250 acres of park land in the pretty seaside town of Malahide, the Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin's oldest building and the Dalkey Castle and Heritage Centre and the medieval towerhouse with its Murder hole.
An essential feature for any European capital is a good shopping district. In Dublin you will find lively pedestrian shopping streets at the heart of the city along with a number of huge shopping centres in the outskirts.
Dublin is at the centre of Ireland's transport system. Dublin Port is the country's most important sea port where ferries from the ports of Holyhead and Liverpool in the UK and Douglas on the Isle of Man frequently arrive. Dublin is the third most visited capital city in Europe (after Paris and London) with over four million visitors a year.
