Dublin in recent years has undoubtedly become one of the most popular places in Europe to visit. Dublin is the Ireland’s capital city (Belfast and Cork are the island’s other two major cities) and since its beginning around 988 it has accommodated many diverse nationalities from the Vikings to the English invaders to the sailors, traders and writers who settled and lived here over the centuries.

Modern Dublin is being transformed by enormous changes caused by the recent economic boom, and you cannot be there and not catch some of the infectious excitement that comes with prosperity. The city has always had a reputation as a great historical city, and its strong links with world literature and the arts are readily apparent. It certainly has a lot to offer visitors - not least it's diverse attractions. In summing up, Dublin has been gaining a reputation over the last decade that very few cities in the world could live up to.
