Your Inside Guide to: Dublin
Guinness to Modern Art
Dublin City records its rich history back some 2,000 years. From medieval cathedrals and ancient city walls to Georgian squares and Victorian grandeur, Dublin's streets are alive with history, heritage and tales of days gone by. As a result of unprecedented investment, however, the modern city of Dublin is adding its own delights to its layers of history. Among other things, The Spire, Smithfield Village, the Liffey Boardwalk and the redevelopment of O'Connell Street and Docklands combine to make Dublin a truly vibrant, upbeat city. Waves of settlers, from Celts to Vikings, Normans and Huguenots, all have added to the multi-cultural tapestry of the city, as does today's huge influx of new residents from the EU, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Far East.Today's Dublin blends its historical mystique with urban chic—complete with designer boutiques, inspiring architecture, verdant parks and sweeping coastline.
